I am not sure this is correct.  The main problem with TeX-format-filter
may be that it does not work on raw bytes but on reencoded characters.
But TeX itself counts off 79 raw bytes before doing a line end.  If we
were taking this seriously, the process-filter would need to use unibyte
encoding, reconcatenate lines of length 79 with the following character,
then replace ^^xx sequences with the corresponding byte, and only then
decode the resulting line according to the coding system of the source
buffer.

Of course, things are different when using, respectively, Omega or
Aleph, or XeTeX, or LuaTeX.

Excuse me while I bang my head against a wall.
