Thanks.

I've just tried it in an (unmarked) big5 message.  (Well, I'm guessing
it was big5.)  The function returned the following list:

(iso-latin-1-unix raw-text-unix chinese-big5-unix no-conversion)

Which means that the correct answer is the third-most-likely guess...
Is big5 particularly difficult to guess, or is the function bad at
guessing?
