pgAdmin, psql, and dropdb will *all* drop the database by issuing a
DROP DATABASE query via libpq. There is no difference between them,
except possibly the database to which they initially connect. By
default all will use 'postgres'.

Even if there is a difference in database you are using for the
connection, then it is still a server issue, and should be reported to
pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org.
