Wrong hunch:
INSERT INTO tst1m VALUES (default,
    'źŠÿǚŦÏÔćÍĊĜÿG' COLLATE "hu_HU.utf8",
    'úĽčŏUĶďeźİīŇč' COLLATE "hu_HU.utf8" );
ERROR:  unsupported node type: 325

Anyway the columns are large enough to cope with these strings (32 & 64)
as they are copy from an existing row.

Yep, I seeked gogol for that and only get a very few answers, most of
them linking to PG source or unrelated.

Works (of course, see above) perfectly:
INSERT INTO tst1m VALUES ( default,
    'źŠÿǚŦÍÏÔJŽććżûŘäpèăîÍŢŃDµŴŻĊĜÿG' ,
    'úĽčŏṻŗĿÁťħĵŇğŚáÛĨæħŽīhĴÝUĶďeźİīŇč'  );
INSERT 0 1
