Yeah, that's a corner case on a corner case.
A further thought here is that even though the change I propose is
pretty localized, it's still complicated enough to possibly introduce
new bugs. And it's fixing a case that I think doesn't occur in
practice; people don't really make local-in-transaction changes of
client_encoding. (Remember the bug was only discovered by accident.)
So my inclination is to fix it now in HEAD so it can go through a
cycle of beta testing, but leave 8.3 alone. We can back-patch it
after testing if we get any additional complaints.
