 Replying to [comment:5 homann]:
 > You can select if the CRS of the new layer should be the global default,
 the project CRS or if it should ask for it. You do the selection in
 Settings -> Options...

 Reopening because this setting is explicitely for dealing with layers
 which miss CRS data at their load time. It is bogus that this setting
 impacts CRS info of layers *newly created in QGIS*. A newly created layer
 in QGIS should have the same CRS as the project, not as the global setting
 for layer's with invalid CRS data. It is easy to imagine you might want to
 have the global CRS different than you project CRS. What then?
