Hm ... AFAICS from looking at the code, it's impossible to get that
error message unless the file contains \ followed by . followed by
something that's not either CR or LF.  Are you sure you changed all
the \ characters?

Are you using CSV mode or traditional COPY format?  What's the
setting of client_encoding?
