Well, lo and behold, after sending the above mail I immediately
discovered how to trigger the problem: Sending mail does it.

I use mew and send through a TSL encrypted server; mew uses stunnel to
handle the encryption. I suppose it tweaks some global setting in the
process of doing the communication, but surely, that should not affect
the behaviour of unencodable-char-position? I have asked about this on
the mew mailing list too, but maybe this narrows it down enough to
give someone here an idea.
