I don't know why there'd be such a limit - some weird Windows limitation,
perhaps? Anyway, the immediate failure seems to be in libintl's gettext
support:

Maybe you'd be able to get a usable error message if you run the
app under some other locale --- I'd try "C" locale for starters.

gettext() really is not supposed to ever crash like that (at worst,
it's supposed to return the original string if it fails to localize it).
So I think you have grounds for a bug report to the libintl maintainers,
independently of what exactly is causing libpq to want to get a translated
message.
