Unlikely: buffer-file-coding-system has no effect whatsoever on the
text that is inserted into a buffer, it only has effect when you want
to save the buffer or send it to some sub-process.
It could be some snafu in Org, though, e.,g. if it doesn't know how to
support that value of $LANG. In any case, should be reported to Org
developers first.
