This could be an efs problem, or a hexl problem.  It depends whether
hexl is being "clean" about how it interfaces with
insert-file-contents.  efs uses the file-name-handler-alist, which is
exactly what it should be using.  Does hexl use an overload (probably
bad), the file-name-handler-alist, or find-file-hooks?

I'm afraid that I don't have hexl.el, so I can't investigate.  (No,
this isn't an invitation to send it to me ;-)
