This happens in eieio-persistent-save. One quick fix would be to just
set the coding system to 'raw-text:

--- a/eieio/eieio-base.el
+++ b/eieio/eieio-base.el
@@ -265,6 +265,7 @@ instance."
   (save-excursion
     (let ((b (set-buffer (get-buffer-create " *tmp object write*")))
 	  (default-directory (file-name-directory (oref this file)))
+	  (buffer-file-coding-system 'raw-text)
 	  (cfn (oref this file)))
       (unwind-protect
 	  (save-excursion
