Yeah, that's a problem, but I don't find your solution acceptable:

-\echo Use "CREATE EXTENSION uuid-ossp" to load this file. \quit
+\echo Use CREATE EXTENSION "uuid-ossp" to load this file. \quit

That's just ignoring the English text quoting convention that these
messages are trying to follow.  I guess we could shade the convention a
bit by using single not double quotes around the recommended command.
psql doesn't make that tremendously easy, but a bit of experimentation
says this works:

regression=# \echo Use '''CREATE EXTENSION "uuid-ossp"''' to load this file. 
Use 'CREATE EXTENSION "uuid-ossp"' to load this file.

Does that look reasonable to people?
