Assuming we've requested the PgBouncer team to stop abusing the server_version parameter for the special 'pgbouncer' database, and they’ve agreed to pass the actual PostgreSQL server version instead - this would prevent us from showing the usual warning, since the version would now appear to be > 9.2
But, still most of the psql features won't work here, right? Won't it be a false positive to not show the warning here? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The entire point of having a wire protocol is that you can't/don't need to detect that. The short answer here is that this is pgbouncer's bug and you should be nagging them to change, not us.
