No. However once I got to the point that a development machine was
looking at the new server I could reproduce the problem and (appear to
have) fixed it: the app was a scheduler running on a Windows system and
contained a lot of pathnames with backslashes hence
standard_conforming_strings = on.
I'll play with the new system for a few days and if all goes well try to
migrate on New Year's Day.
