It also breaks the ability to psql -l against older installations: e.g. this is psql 8.1 trying to list databases on a 8.0.3 DB server: $ psql -l -hdev2 -dtemplate1 psql: FATAL: database "postgres" does not exist I'm told we never promise to make \l and \d work across client/server versions, but if this is related, it'd be nice if the fix made this work again too.
