I don't understand the meaning of "unifying character
encodings".

I don't understand what "if ..." part actually means. Who
makes command argument in chinese-gbk?

It seems to be a good workaround for the hexl-mode because
it won't break anything. So, I installed a proper change
for that.
Though, it doesn't solve the generic problem of "how to
handle the case that the program requests different encoding
for arguments and file (or stdin)". I think we should solve
it after the release.
