You are correct. The patch I submitted is a workaround and was never supposed
to fix the root of the problem. But it allows to run pgadmin3 1.2.0 on FreeBSD
4.x which lacks proper wchar_t support but is still widely used.
I removed non-Unicode support in FreeBSD port initially because of the
problems you described, but the a few users asked me if it is possible to
add it back.
