I'm pretty sure the problem I found is related to this, but I found that ecpg doesn't process booleans correctly- this was in a old version of postgres (I think it was 7.4.2).  I traced it down in the code, and there is a section that defines the values to be "yes" or "no", but then further processing looks for "true" or "false", so the end result is that a boolean is ALWAYS false, because the 2 filters don't match.
 
If you're interested in more detail, I have code fixes (they are at work so I'll send on Monday).

Upon poking around in the ecpg sources, I discover that it has its own
list of "unreserved" keywords and pays no attention whatsoever to the
core grammar's unreserved_keyword list.  I can hardly find words to
express my dissatisfaction with that.  The unreserved_keyword list might
not be the single most-likely-to-change production in the core grammar,
but it's got to be right up there in the top two or three.  This little
shortcut means that all the work done last year to generate the ecpg
grammar from core was practically useless --- we still have to worry
about manually maintaining the ecpg grammar any time we change core.

This has *got* to be fixed.  The lack of obvious feedback about keywords
not included in any keyword list means that manual maintenance is
guaranteed to fail, as indeed it's already done, per this report.
