Filetype *detection* is on by default in Vim.  It's not being "turned on"
by "filetype plugin indent on".  So what you say will be too late is not
too late.

Now maybe filetype *plugins* need to be loaded before the buffer is loaded,
but I kind of doubt it.  They usually just set options and maps.  If I am
wrong, then this idea of mine will indeed not work.
