Well...

I'll spare your eyes and tell you right away that the results are
identical... they're at the bottom of the email.

I tried recompiling postgres 8.0.1-r2 with :
CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=pentium3"
which is quite conservative (I have a Pentium-M, this is my dev laptop).

$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.3.5 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.5-r1, ssp-3.3.2-3, pie-8.7.7.1)

And I still get (in 8.0.1-r2) :

test=> SELECT pdb.datname AS datname, pu.usename AS datowner,
pg_encoding_to_char(encoding) AS datencoding,
test-> (SELECT description FROM pg_description pd WHERE pdb.oid=pd.objoid)
AS datcomment,
test-> (SELECT spcname FROM pg_catalog.pg_tablespace pt WHERE
pt.oid=pdb.dattablespace) AS tablespace
test-> FROM pg_database pdb, pg_user pu
test-> WHERE pdb.datdba = pu.usesysid AND NOT pdb.datistemplate
test-> ORDER BY pdb.datname;
ERREUR: unexpected right parenthesis

Let's try something else :

postgresql $ createuser -P peufeu

(note that I have to type "o" and not "y" as it's in French... although it
still displays y/n, "y" means "no" ! it bit me !)

ka-blam.

I checked there was no invisible UTF-8 character inside the query...
there isn't, everything's normal...
I cut bits of the query, trying to get to the bug, and to my surprise, I
got :

peufeu=> SELECT pdb.datname FROM pg_database pdb, pg_user pu;
ERREUR: unexpected right parenthesis

Which is interesting, as there is no parenthesis in this query ;)
I'll copypaste the rest of the session :

peufeu=> SELECT pdb.datname FROM pg_database pdb, pg_user pux;
ERREUR: unexpected right parenthesis
peufeu=> SELECT pdb.datname FROM pg_database pdb, pg_user pu;
ERREUR: unexpected right parenthesis
peufeu=> SELECT pdb.datname FROM pg_database pdb, pg_user;
ERREUR: unexpected right parenthesis
peufeu=> SELECT foo.datname FROM pg_database foo, pg_user;
ERREUR: unexpected right parenthesis
peufeu=> SELECT foo.datname FROM pg_database foo;
datname

peufeu=> SELECT foo.datname FROM pg_user, pg_database foo;
ERREUR: unexpected right parenthesis
peufeu=> SELECT * FROM pg_user LIMIT 1;
ERREUR: unexpected right parenthesis
peufeu=> SELECT * FROM pg_user LIMIT 1;

ERREUR: unexpected right parenthesis
peufeu=> SELECT * FROM pg_user;
ERREUR: unexpected right parenthesis
peufeu=> SELECT 1 FROM pg_user;
ERREUR: unexpected right parenthesis

Seems I have a cursed table.
I login as postgres :

$ psql -U postgres peufeu

I'm totally perplexed. Have you got any idea ?
I'm itching to do an initdb...
