Comment (by zachariahyoder):

 While implementing saving the encoding of a file...

 Please add an option in New Vector Layer dialog to choose the encoding
 when first making a new vector/shapefile. (Layer -> New Vector Layer ->
 New Vector Layer dialog)

 It seems the user is currently not given a choice.

 P.S. A big thank you to the people who spend their time to fix bugs like
 this!!!
