I think this is working as it's supposed t. The "German" environment is
apparently defined as follows:
("German"
(documentation . "This language environment is almost the same as
Latin-1,\nbut sets the default input method to
\"german-postfix\".\nAdditionally, it selects the German tutorial.")
(sample-text . "German (Deutsch Nord) Guten Tag\nGerman (Deutsch Süd) Grüß
Gott")
(unibyte-display . iso-latin-1)
(input-method . "german-postfix")
(nonascii-translation . iso-8859-1)
(coding-priority iso-latin-1)
(coding-system iso-latin-1 iso-latin-9)
(charset iso-8859-1)
(tutorial . "TUTORIAL.de"))
So while it may be surprising in this day and age that that's what this
does, I don't think the definition can be changed (because that'd break
the setup of people who rely on "German" to be iso-8859-1).
