This warning is issued because `(locale-info 'codeset)' on Windows
returns the system ANSI code page (a.k.a. ACP). Emacs issues the
system call that is equivalent to
GetLocaleInfo (GetThreadLocale (),
LOCALE_IDEFAULTANSICODEPAGE | LOCALE_USE_CP_ACP,
NULL, 0);
A recent discussion concluded that the warning can be safely removed,
see

Sorry, I'm not sure I follow: how did you came to the above
conclusion, and how is it connected to the warning? If what you say
is that Emacs does not honor the locale settings, and that this
warning is an evidence, please elaborate.
