I've had the problem as well. I guess that it is due to a change in
the treatment of the coding systems in (very) recent version of Emacs.
Setting the coding system to mule-utf-8, both in the buffer
(set-buffer-file-coding-system) and in the file contents (editing
the top line), makes the problem go away. BBDB does not
overwrite the coding setting in the file if the data base is not
empty, if there is a "file version" line and if the coding
setting matches the regexp "\\`;; *-\\*-coding:". It's not
totally robust, but it'll cover most cases.
Part of the problem may be due to the following:
bbdb-file-coding-system is set as follows:
(if (fboundp 'coding-system-p)
(if (coding-system-p 'utf-8-emacs)
'utf-8-emacs
'iso-2022-7bit))
In GNU Emacs, that always evaluates to 'iso-2022-7bit (or nil
depending on the version), since 'utf-8-emacs is not a coding
system. There you'll want to test for 'mule-utf-8 (or 'utf-8).
