I seem to be affected by the same problem.

My messages are 8bit-encoded, and the parts are iso-latin-2, but otherwise
similar: multipart/alternative outer layer, inner layers text/plain;
charset=ISO-8859-2; format=flowed and text/html; charset=ISO-8859-2). When I
hit "r" for reply, the text is decoded to utf-8 but then shown in iso-latin-2.

There seems to be some interaction with the "Keep original charset" option, but
even when it's off, for encrypted e-mails, the problem still occurs when
replying to the whole e-mail - but not when the text is selected (so that only
the selected part is quoted).

So the work-around ends up being (a) turning off "Keep original charset"
(Settings | Composer | Charset) and (b) selecting the text of encrypted e-mails
before hitting "r" for reply.
