Works for me:

$ echo -e '\xEF\xBB\xBF BOM test' > /tmp/BOM.txt

$ cvs-EMACS_22_BASE/i686$ LC_ALL=C ./src/emacs -Q /tmp/BOM.txt

==> u -- mule-utf-8-unix in the mode line.

So we need a (small) sample file[1] and a recipe to reproduce the
problem starting from emacs -Q.  `M-x report-emacs-bug RET'
additionally provides useful information for the developers.

[1] E.g. the first few lines of your text file.

Bye, Reiner.
