IMO, calling ToLower with a string that is set to the encoding

Nope.
A new string consists of a record that contains the encoding ID, element
size, reference count, length and the pointger to the content:
TAnsiRec = Packed Record
CodePage : TSystemCodePage;
ElementSize : Word;
{$ifdef CPU64}
{ align fields }
Dummy : DWord;
{$endif CPU64}
Ref : SizeInt;
Len : SizeInt;
First : AnsiChar;
end;
So each string variable has it's own dedicated encoding ID and can't
point to that of another string.
