First guess is that client_encoding is getting set differently in the
pgAgent-initiated sessions than elsewhere, causing incorrect character set
conversions to happen.

... unfortunately, I don't know anything about how to adjust that
in Windows.  A brute-force way would be to issue "set client_encoding"
in your scripts, but there may be a better way.
