I agree.

The task of that function are:

(1) Set buffer-file-coding-system according to the current
value and last-coding-system-used.

(2) If a file is visited by no-conversion or raw-text, set
the buffer unibyte.

So, as far as format-decode or any other functions in the
hook don't pay attention to buffer-file-coding-system or
enable-multibyte-characters, we can do the task in any
order.  But, conceptually it should be done before running
any other Lisp code.
