I'd say you're using a client driver version that doesn't understand
hex-encoded escapes. Try setting bytea_output to 'escape' instead of 'hex'.
It'd help if you provided even some minimal information like code
samples, the language you're using, the version of the access driver
(npgsql/pgodbc/libpq/psycopg/php-pgsql/etc) you're using, and other
basic details.
Please read the PostgreSQL 9.0 release notes:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/release-9-0.html
and the documentation on bytea:
