Not being an expert, but to me it looks like the client_encoding being set to UTF8 but the data being sent is something
otherthan UTF8. I've seen this happen on Linux when connecting with PuTTY from Windows (and then psql from the linux
machine)and having the wrong encoding set in PuTTY. I'd double and triple-check the client-side stuff first ;-)
