The encoding isn't lossy.
In any case, I don't really understand your proposal. Suppose the
file was indeed encoded in in-is13194-devanagari, would you argue then
that selecting it would be incorrect or undesirable behavior?

It is only a problem when you try to save or otherwise output it
(e.g., send in an email).
But what you should do then is "C-x RET r raw-text RET", and recover.
That is the only way to avoid corruption in files that use
inconsistent encoding.
