In other words, it will misbehave badly if those characters appear
in the query result. Doesn't sound acceptable to me.
It should not be problem, I think
a) it can be applied as special char only when row before was empty
b) psql formates this char inside query result, so should not be possible to find binary this value inside result.
postgres=# select e'AHOJ' || chr(5) || 'JJJJ';
┌──────────────┐
│ ?column? │
╞══════════════╡
│ AHOJ\x05JJJJ │
└──────────────┘
(1 row)
