I didn't check it for others but eg. in kate you can set the desired 
encoding value by View|Set Encoding. If you set that to Auto then it 
should be able to open your file. The default value is Auto. If you set it 
to some other value, then you expect all the files you open to be of that 
encoding.
How did your setting end up as ISO 8859-1 instead of Auto I don't know. If 
I remember correctly then long ago kate did not have setting for auto 
encoding. So that could be the reason.

I hope I have answered your questions. If you think so, then maybe you 
should close the bug...
