It might be a bit cleaner to replace the previous two lines by

   _set_buffer_flag(0x200);

The problem with this is that your `binary' function will get executed
after the file has been read into the editor.  By default, files are
read in as text files.  You will need to call
`set_file_translation(1)' prior to reading the file into the editor
(see the implementation of `find_binary_file' in binary.sl), e.g.,

   jed -f 'set_file_translation(1)' file.bin --binary

Good luck,
