Hello
this is not bug
you can try use a system variable PGCLIENTENCODING
bash-4.2$ PGCLIENTENCODING=3D'latin2' psql postgres
psql (9.1.1)
Type "help" for help.
postgres=3D# show client_encoding ;
client_encoding
-----------------
LATIN2
(1 row)
other way is connect with "only ascii" user name, changing encoding
and changin current role
SET role TO specialcharsrole;
