It wasn't PostgreSQL, it was me of course!
Seeing as it was so long ago, I forgot that the BLCKSZ on the production
server wasn't 32k, it was 31k (for whatever reason).. When I set the BLCKSZ
lower than that and tried to start the backend it told me that the database
was initialized with a BLCKSZ of 31k, strange that it didn't say that when I
compiled with a BLCKSZ of 32k but regardless of all that it was my stupidity
that was the problem, nothing more..
My apologies for wasting everyone's time, file this problem in the "stupid
user" category.
Thanks to all, I'm off to sit in the corner for a while...
