the default output format for bytea was changed in 9.0 (see the release
notes http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/release-9-0.html in the
"Migration to version 9.0" section) which might be causing the effect
you are seeing.
I have no idea about the jdbc/java stuff but either you need to move to
a more recent version of the jdc driver your you need to change the
bytea_output guc to 'escape'.
