At end of ChangeLog there is the following setting:

;; Local Variables:
;; coding: iso-2022-7bit
;; End:

Shouldn't it be?:

;; Local Variables:
;; buffer-file-coding-system: iso-2022-7bit
;; End:

I only could save ChangeLog when buffer-file-coding-system is set to 
iso-2022-7bit.
But if buffer-file-coding-system (or other suitable coding variable) 
isn't explicity set,
I got an error message when saving ChangeLog.

The error message is:
  Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, nil
