Very good question. What would be worth doing next is trying to load
the dump file with query logging enabled, and then look in the
postmaster log file to see what query the backend thinks it's getting.
I am still suspicious that we're dealing with some weird
character-set-conversion behavior, but we need to nail down the
facts first.
