How about twweaking the error message?
Vim currently shows:
"bad.tmp" E513: write error, conversion failed
(make 'fenc' empty to override)
WARNING: Original file may be lost or damaged don't
quit the editor until the file is successfully written!
I suggest:
"bad.tmp" E513: write error, conversion failed
WARNING: The file on disk has probably been corrupted.
Do not quit until the file is successfully written!
Try saving it again after entering (nothing after "="):
:set fenc=
Or, when writebackup is switched off, issue a clear warning?
