text fields are quoted only when it is necessary

[pavel(at)localhost src]$ psql -c "select 'ahoj' as x, 'svete' as y" --csv
Assertions: on
x,y
ahoj,svete
[pavel(at)localhost src]$ psql -c "select 'ahoj' as x, 'sve,te' as y" --csv
Assertions: on
x,y
ahoj,"sve,te"

If you need forced quoting, you need to use COPY TO STDOUT statement
