Yeah... if you trace through this, you'll notice that (1) calling a
function having non-null proconfig requires fetching its pg_proc entry,
and (2) fetching anything from a catalog requires being inside a live
transaction, and (3) the client/server encoding translation functions have
to be invokable outside any transaction.  So as I said, this is not
going to work and we are not very interested in making it work.
