I think it's better, too. However, there might be a code that
copies data from nntp-server-buffer to a multibyte buffer. I'm
not capable to check all the Gnus code.

I agree that's generally true. But in Gnus' case, data in a
multibyte work buffer are the multibyte version of binary data.
I don't know proper words to explain it, sorry. In other words,
they are the one which `string-to-multibyte' converted binary
data to. For example:
(with-temp-buffer
(set-buffer-multibyte t)
(insert (string-to-multibyte (encode-coding-string "日本語" 'utf-8)))
(let ((buffer (current-buffer)))
(with-temp-buffer
(set-buffer-multibyte nil)
(insert-buffer-substring buffer)
(decode-coding-string (buffer-string) 'utf-8))))
=> "日本語"
I'm not sure it works with any data, though.
