It can be utf-8-with-signature-dos or utf-8-with-signature-unix
depending on the type of "end-of-line" used by the file.

No, but forcing the coding system of any buffer to utf_8-with-signature
using this command and then entering hexl-mode is enough to trigger
the error. I can even reproduce it with a blank scratch buffer.

Windows XP SP3.
