initdb stores default client_encoding from environment-variable

When a database is initialized with the initdb-command, the default
client_enconding, which will be stored in the DB, depends on the value
of the environment-variable PGCLIENTENCODING at the time of running
initdb. This behaviour is not documented.
Furthermore I didn't find a command to change this
default client_encoding in the database later.
The default client_encoding does not depend on the database encoding!
I cannot reproduce this issue based on the test script you've provided.
However, I was testing on Ubuntu 9.10, not a vanilla 8.4, so this
can't be taken as definitive.
