Yeah it is ... the internal async-queue data structure assumes null-terminated strings. What's a lot worse, so does the wire protocol's NotificationResponse message, as well as every existing client that can read it. (For instance, libpq's exposed API for notify messages hands back the payload as a null-terminated string.) I don't think this is going to happen.
