Actually the problem can be divided into two parts:

1) backend does not process GUC client_encoding. 

2) libpq does not ask the backend's client_encoding, instead it asks  datanbase encoding when it starts up the
connection.This is just a  mistake.
 

I think we could fix 1) without any backward compatibilty problem and
should be applied to both 7.3-STATBLE and current.
