What line above?  Are you referring to "Error restoring bytea" in
the subject header?  Is that the *exact* error message?

Have extraneous newlines and/or carriage returns made it into the
dump?  That might result in "invalid input syntax for type bytea",
which isn't the exact error you mentioned but might be what you
meant.
