Yeah, "\set ENCODING UTF8" doesn't seem to work either. The "ENCODING" psql variable tracks changes to the server's client_encoding setting, but not vice versa. That probably should be fixed, or at least it should throw an error telling the user to use \encoding instead.
As a workaround, you can set the PGCLIENTENCODING environment variable before launching psql.
