Could the COPY data have extraneous whitespace, or could it be a
case sensitivity issue?  What happens when you issue a query like
the following?

SELECT '<' || col || '>' FROM foo WHERE col ILIKE '%value%';

If you still can't figure it out then please provide a real test
case -- show the table definition, the exact query you're making,
the output you expect (culled from an unrestricted SELECT, for
example), and the output you actually got.
