I have seen this problem "in the wild", too.

There is another way that is not quite as inconvenient: You can pass a
filehandle to the constructor:

   open($fh, '<:utf8', 'template-file');
   my $t = HTML::Template->new(filehandle => $fh);

However, I agree that the option you patch adds is quite convenient.
Care to add some tests for this problem, too?
