Hmm. Someone else told me about seeing the same thing on a Linux box,
but I didn't hear what the resolution was.

initdb is not very good about giving you details about failures of
the programs it calls --- in particular, pg_encoding's stdout/stderr
is rerouted to /dev/null in the script :-(. I'd recommend changing
the initdb script to not redirect pg_encoding's output, and then
you'll be able to see what pg_encoding is unhappy about. Let us know...
