No kidding. That's been a known issue for *years*, Bruce. Without a
way to reorder the columns in COPY, it can't be fixed. That's the main
reason why we have a TODO item to allow column specification in COPY.

No, that's just the COPY failing (and resetting the connection). That's
not going to be fixed before final either, unless you'd like us to
develop a new frontend COPY protocol before final...
