Okay, that might be the problem... because my system defaults to UTF-8, 
I guess that there is some keyboard input encoding in emacs which uses 
UTF-8.

Therefore if I enter "baz" in latin1 buffer, everything is okay, but 
"foobar åäö" has some UTF-8 and it then forces buffer encoding to UTF-8...

Maybe I could change input encoding depending on file encoding... hmm ;)

Or maybe I try to figure out how to make menu items which force buffer 
encoding and write the file.
