Unlikely: buffer-file-coding-system has no effect whatsoever on the text that is inserted into a buffer, it only has effect when you want to save the buffer or send it to some sub-process. It could be some snafu in Org, though, e.,g. if it doesn't know how to support that value of $LANG. In any case, should be reported to Org developers first.
