You know what, I think the test in the code is backwards.

        is_mb = pg_encoding_max_length(encoding) > 1;

        if ((is_mb && (cvalue > 255)) || (!is_mb && (cvalue > 127)))
            ereport(ERROR,
                    (errcode(ERRCODE_PROGRAM_LIMIT_EXCEEDED),
                     errmsg("requested character too large for encoding: %d",
                            cvalue)));

Shouldn't we be allowing up-to-255 for single-byte encodings, not
multibyte?
