*scratches head* I thought the point of SQL_ASCII was no encoding
conversion was done and so there would be nothing to verify.
Ahh I see looks like pg_verify_mbstr_len() will make sure there are no
NULL bytes in the string when we are a single byte encoding.

Yes. However (and maybe im nitpicking here), I dont see any reason to
verify certain strings twice if we can avoid it.
What do you think about:
+ /*
+ * when we are a PG_UTF8 or SQL_ASCII database pg_do_encoding_conversion()
+ * will not do any conversion or verification. we need to do it
manually instead.
+ */
+ if( GetDatabaseEncoding() == PG_UTF8 ||
GetDatabaseEncoding() == SQL_ASCII)
+ pg_verify_mbstr_len(PG_UTF8, utf8_str, len, false);
