I can, but it isn't a bug! At least not one in the backend.
The file must contain CRLF at the end of a line instead of a
single LF.
The data is absolutely intact in the database including the
CR for those lines, where the second fields value is shorter
than 20 chars. It's just psql(1) who's output get's mangled
up.
