I couldn't reproduce that locally either, but I just tested on CI with your patch applied saw the failure, and then removed "PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE=0 LANG=C" and it's all green: https://github.com/macdice/postgres/commit/91999f5d13ac2df6f7237a301ed6cf73f2bb5b6d Without looking too closely, my first guess would have been that this just isn't going to work without UTF-8 database encoding, so you might need to skip the test (see for example src/test/regress/expected/unicode_1.out). It's annoying that "xml" already has 3 expected variants... hmm. BTW shouldn't it be failing in a more explicit way somewhere sooner if the database encoding is not UTF-8, rather than getting confused?
