Quite possibly. The code comment says this:
/* * SQL99 specifies Unicode-aware case normalization, which we don't yet * have the

somelocales where this * is not right either (eg, Turkish may do strange things with 'i' and *

For now your best bet is probably not to use UTF8 non-ascii chars or to
quote the identifiers.
Given we're calling to_lower() on a single byte in the code referred to,
should we even be doing that when we have a multi-byte encoding and the
high bit is set?
Aside: I'd love to fix up our treatment of identifiers, but there is
probably a LOT of very tedious work involved.
