I'd try customizing file-coding-system-alist.  If that somehow doesn't
work, please describe more details on emacs-devel@gnu.org, perhaps
there's some bug or missing feature.

Out of curiosity: how come this specific tree is in a different
encoding?  Is it a volume mounted from another machine, or some
removable media?
