An even more relevant message appears to be this one:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2006-09/msg00133.php
Both this and the comment in downcase_truncate_identifier() suggests
that the current method is attributable to lack of support for
Unicode-aware case normalization and is known not to work correctly in
all locales. Locale and encoding stuff isn't really my area of
expertise, but if now have support for Unicode-aware case
normalization, shouldn't we be using it here, too?
