My emacs (-q --no-site-init) cannot save that cyrillic string as UTF-8. C-x C-s doesn't include UTF-8 as an option. If I go ahead and select UTF-8 anyway, the data is corrupted (just like the warning says). I think Gnus is sending that corrupt byte sequence for me. Fortunately, it is simple to reproduce with easier examples, try inserting <#part charset=iso-8859-1> ¤uro in a message and previewing it. Gnus tags it as iso-8859-1 but corrupt the euro character, replacing it with a ?. I think Gnus should warn the user that the indicated charset is unable to encode the data you wrote. I'm not sure it should propose something else, it seems overly complicated. I have no idea why it worked for Jesper, perhaps you use mule-ucs or have some customization that fixes this?
