Hi 

The patch looks good, do we have any example error that we can test in order to ensure the problem no longer shows up in the future?

If they could be Unit Tests instead of Feature tests that would be awesome, because Feature tests are much more expensive then Unit.

I think we need to consider a couple of options here:

1) Make sure that many/all of our tests use non-ASCII names.

+1 

2) Consider adding a mechanism to allow running the regression tests with overridden GUC values. For example, a parameter in the test config file that gives a set of GUCs to change upon connection.

The downside of 2 of course, is that it adds a huge amount of possible environment combinations to test.

We should implement this as it would be very helpful in reducing the testing efforts.

But as you said there will be large set of combinations, so first we need to come up with the possible combinations which we would like to include first.
