For me it works to have environment variables LANG and LC_CTYPE set  
some UTF-8 value, not setting a language environment in my user init  
file, but having

        (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)

Well, on Mac OS X ...

Check also by launching GNU Emacs with -Q, i.e. no customisation  
neither from your system not from you. Last resort might be the  
variable process-coding-system-alist. It *might* be successfully  
manipulated with

        (modify-coding-system-alist 'process "\\*compilation\\*\\'"   'utf-8)
