Thanks for the link Jim, looks like my googling skills are a bit amiss.

I believe the reason the matching allows "encoding" is because a recommended 
format in the documentation is:

# vim:fileencoding=<encoding-name>

I think changing the behavior of the matching to be stricter and only match on 
"coding:" could result in breakages of such lines. Instead I think the error 
thrown could be more descriptive since I don't think it's too helpful.
