I think you're still running the 7.1.1 version of psql, because this is
one bug fixed in 7.1.2.  Try 'psql --version'.

I can't replicate that misbehavior.  I'm not using MULTIBYTE though,
maybe it depends on that ...

You are right. I seem to mixed up 7.1.1 psql with 7.1.2 backend. Sorry
for the confusion.
