Hmm. Fedora 17 x86-64 w/ PostgreSQL 9.1.5 here, the latter seems to
work using the default text search configuration (albeit with one
crucial note: I created the database with the "lc_ctype=C
lc_collate=C" options):

WORKING:

createdb --template=template0 --lc-ctype=C --lc-collate=C foobar
foobar=# select ts_debug('󶒘󴮬');                           ts_debug
----------------------------------------------------------------(word,"Word, all
letters",󶒘󴮬,{english_stem},english_stem,{󶒘󴮬})
(1 row)

NOT WORKING AS EXPECTED:

foobaz=# SHOW LC_CTYPE; lc_ctype
-------------en_US.UTF-8
(1 row)

foobaz=# select ts_debug('󶒘󴮬');           ts_debug
---------------------------------(blank,"Space symbols",󶒘󴮬,{},,)
(1 row)

So... perhaps LC_CTYPE=C is a possible workaround for you?
