That looks like the key difference to zoom in on, doesn't it. R can see
them as UTF-8 strings in batch mode, but not when it is a child process
of emacs. Can you print the env variables, from within the R script, to
see if they are any different when in the child process?

Also see https://stackoverflow.com/a/23699701/841830  "The Encoding
function returns unknown if a character string has a "native encoding"
mark or if it's in ASCII."
