well i recently struggled with the same problem. After a lot of trial
and error and reading, it seems that an ascii encoded database can't use
its client encoding capabilities ( set client_encoding to utf8 ).
i think the easist solution is to do a dump, recreate the database with
a proper encoding, and restore the dump.
