So the hint is to abandon manual COPY and let pg_dump do the hard work?
If it is a newline-conversion problem, compressed pg_dump archives would
be just as subject to corruption as your binary COPY file is.  I'd say
the hint is to be more careful about how you do the cross-machine file
transfers.  I suspect what is really happening is you're not always
doing that the same way, and that some of the methods allow a newline
conversion to happen to the file while others don't.

Well, I have no control on how the user transfers back and forth among machines. Imagine you have a zip file where you backup your daily work. After you've done your backup, you put it on a pendrive and go home. When you're at home you copy this file to your computer and decompress it. Our application works exactly the same way, except that it does not work with raw files, but with PostgreSQL data. So I don't know how a user handles its backup files once he has made his backup...
