I'm using the JDBC3 build 310 drivers (latest from jdbc.postgresql.org).

asBinary() already returns a bytea:
#\df asbinary
List of functions
Schema | Name | Result data type | Argument data types
--------+----------+------------------+---------------------
public | asbinary | bytea | geometry
public | asbinary | bytea | geometry, text
(2 rows)
But, I tried your query and it, also, sends 84 bytes.
