I disagree.  The problem is that the utf-16 coding systems have a
mime-charset property.  It happens that I just fixed the Gnus charset
detection to cope, and I'm negotiating either to remove the property
from those systems in Emacs or to add another one which says whether
a coding system is appropriate for text parts.

It isn't incorrect.  My change is a kludge to account for the fact
that utf-16 normally has higher priority than utf-8 and currently has
a mime-charset defined.  If you remove the latter, the issue goes
away, and that change probably should go now.
