The client tripped over itself and forgot to finish reading some bytes when reading a binary Text field. How that ended up looking like a NoData message is beyond me but I have an extra check in place now that ensures all types read all the bytes received for it. So another potential source of errors fixed.
Thanks again,

AFAICS, NoData can only be returned in response to Describe Statement or Describe Portal issued against a command that cannot return rows.
If you can provide a counterexample for this claim, I'd be interested to see it. But my money is on confusion on the client side.
