This seems to be a bug in ruby-mode. It has a feature that automatically 
inserts a coding header to the start of the file, which is enabled by 
default. However, this does not respect the manual setting that you made 
in the buffer - nor does it respect any changes you make to the header 
that it has inserted.  It seems you are forced to use C-x RET f to set 
the coding-system if you want ruby-mode to respect your request.
