i don't see it happening in 6.2.3 so adding the keyword "regression"

Nominating for nsbeta1, since auto-detector is turned on Chinese by default on
Chinese build.
BTW,  auto-detector has higher priority than folder charset, but in this case,
it seems not, another bug?

this is working in 7.0 PR1 that we just shipped as well, so the chinese build
will be ( and is ) fine. We regressed after that so we have to fix the problem
for RTM.
