EXTENSION will use #2 with convert_from() for $4 like this:
 Datum sql = replace(               convert_from(pg_read_binary_file($path), $encoding),               '@extschema@',
$schema);SPI_exec(TextDatumGetCString(sql)); 

I think it is a more flexible solution than adding 'encoding'
parameter to pg_read_file().
