By using `insert-file-contents-literally' (as opposed to
`insert-file-contents'), you're also forbidding Emacs to decode the
binary content of your file into text.
My guess is that it was working by chance in previous versions.
In case somebody might help you, here is a simple way to trigger the
encoding question with a recent version of org (mine is Org mode version 9.6.1).
