Actually, I very much doubt that. We still silently use the preferred
encoding if the original one doesn't fit.
This is a rare use case. It's possible that just saying
(prefer-coding-system 'latin-1)
is all that's needed to get the required prompt back.
I think we should also welcome a patch to provide a user option that
will always force the prompt.
