Indeed, referring to -hackers as this is a recent backend change. The
backend is reporting the database encoding as the client encoding. When a
connection is created with a startup packet sending client_encoding =
UNICODE the server responds with a ParameterStatus message of
client_encoding = server encoding. So something has gone wrong here.
It's not just a UNICODE/UTF-8 problem as I see the server responding with
LATIN1 with a LATIN1 database.
