emacs-mac-app and coding system

Description
I have installed emacs-mac-app @3.92 with
sudo port -s install emacs-mac-app
but perhaps there is a problem with the coding system...
1) In the attached archive there is a file, la_bibliografia.tex.orig, which is shown coded in utf8 with: Aquamacs, emacs-app (Macports) on MAC OS X. The same occurs on GNU/Linux (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Fedora) and GTK Emacs, and on Cygwin with GTK Emacs.
2) Instead with emacs-mac-app (Macports) it is shown coded iso-latin1 ("1" in the mode line).
What is expected and right for me is the case 1): utf-8, "U" in the mode line.
That file contains the (opened) accented character "a" (line 127, column 14) and I can see this character with "less", "cat" and the Emacs distributions as described in 1).
Anyway, emacs-mac-app shows it as iso-latin1 and as a capital "A" followed by an underscore (_), with a tilde (~) over. If I convert it in utf8 by means of C-x RET f utf-8 RET, I got the other file, la_bibliografia.tex.emacs-mac-app, in the attached archive, and emacs-mac-app shows it coded utf8 ("U" in the mode line) but it displays the file with the same result for what regards the accented character (a capital A with...) :-(
emacs-mac-app shows this strange behavior ONLY when I start it with the link I find in Launchpad. Instead if I use
$ /Applications/MacPorts/EmacsMac.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs &
I got the same results described in 1), i.e. the right utf-8 coding and the right displayed accented character...
Removing .emacs.d or starting from command line adding "-Q" does not change the above conclusions.
Ciao,
Angelo.

Being that this works from launching emacs-mac from the command line, that would seem to imply that there an environment variable missing / not being set the same way as in you shell (this is a common problem on the mac with .app programs). I was a little dubious I could recreate the problem but I did! And it's not that bad, following the advice here:
http://email.esm.psu.edu/pipermail/macosx-emacs/2011-January/002537.html
you can get the behavior you want by setting (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8) in your .emacs file. The better question is why this doesn't happen for emacs-app nor Aquamacs to which I don't know. If anyone knows the answer to that, please let me know by reopening the ticket. For now, I'll close this as invalid since it seems to be a config setting(?).

Hmm... It doesn't happen not only for emacs-app and Aquamacs but also for all Emacs I use on other systems (GNU/Linux, Windows): I never had to change .emacs for this issue... Only emacs-mac-app shows up this issue.
BTW, I have built it (emacs-24.2.93-mac-3.93) with
https://github.com/railwaycat/emacs-mac-port/blob/master/build-emacs.app.sh
and with the same results... :-(

Yeah, the same for me. Do you know why this is happening? I suspect it's something to do with railwaycat's patches to emacs but I have no idea for certain.

You mean that build-emacs.app.sh gave you the same utf-8 problem as before?

Yes, exactly...
