Uh what?  The messages output by teTeX 3 are coded like the input: it
just passes messages through transparently.

Therefore the buffer is most appropriately coded like the input
buffer.  AUCTeX should use the coding of the buffer from which
compilation was started: that way the coding is most likely to be
readable.  This will be dissatisfactory for documents containing
multiple encodings: no approach seems satisfactory here.  AUCTeX would
need to track the input file/buffer on the fly during compilation,
receive the process output in raw mode and reencode the error messages
according to the current input file.

What coding does your source code buffer have?
