We could do that, but:
. issuing a warning doesn't solve the problem
. experience shows that warnings shown at startup time frequently go
unnoticed, since they might "drown in the sea" of the many messages
shown by startup (for example, I use desktop, which emits gobs of
messages when it restores a session)
So I'm not objected to having a warning, but an entry in PROBLEMS
would still be good.
Also:

I believe the accepted terminology for that is "codeset".
