(224/236) 3869 - Mac OS X app: default encoding is US-ASCII

This is jEdit5.2pre1 on Mac OS X and Java 7u55.

Using the app launcher, the default encoding comes out as US-ASCII. On the command-line with `java -jar jedit.jar` it is UTF-8 as expected.

2014-07-02 15:20:21.998000 makarius	I have tried again with a fresh installation of: Mac OS X 10.9.4 Mavericks jre-7u60 jEdit 5.2pre1 "Mac OS X package" i.e. it is the DMG that contains an APP. In this configuration, the problem is absent! Some weeks ago, I could reliably reproduce it 3 times, but not today. The default of the buffer and the Global Options are both UTF-8.
