I figured out the difference.
If the mail has a transfer encoding of base64 it works correctly. If it
is 8bit the decoding fails. I haven't hit on a utf-8 quoted-printable
so am not yet sure whether those work, but I suspect they would.
This suggests the unibyte vs multibyte change that occurred a few weeks
back is the culprit.
The raw message probably needs to be multibyte iff the encoding is 8bit
and the charset is anything which might use more than 8 bits per
character, including at least the utf encodings of the UCS and the
various CJK character sets.
I'll try out (imap-disable-multibyte)ยน and (set-buffer-multibyte) to see
whether those make any difference on such emails.

1] Incidently, it seems odd that (imap-disable-multibyte)'s help text
says that it will: "Enable multibyte in the current buffer."
