After experimenting, the only case in which I could get that failure was
to deliberately force a database encoding incompatible with the locale,
namely initdb with LC_ALL=en_US (which is implicitly Latin1 on FC3) and
then "createdb -E unicode". So I think this is pilot error. You
need to be careful to use a database encoding consistent with the locale
setting. (In 8.0, initdb should usually get this right if you don't
override it.)
