It still does for me, and I'd be surprised to see eight-bit-control
displayed another way.

Assuming you're in a Russian locale, it's pretty odd if they are
displayed as 8859-1.

It seems to me that you are picking up some customization.  I don't
see anything in Gnus controlling such things (except in summary
