Collation or encoding matter only for textual data, not for binary data.
Did you update your JDBC driver to a version that supports 9.0?
With an old JDBS driver, you might have problems with the new
bytea encoding format in 9.0. You can test by setting
bytea_output to "escape" in postgresql.conf and see if that
works around the problem.
