Copy doesn't need it at all, because you don't have quotes around the
fields. The following is from my 6.4.2:
testing=> \d test
Table = test
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+-------+
| Field | Type | Length|
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+-------+
| t | text | var |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+-------+
testing=> copy test from stdin;
Enter info followed by a newline
End with a backslash and a period on a line by itself.

testing=> select * from test;
t

This is a field without a quote.
Here the word 'field' is in quotes.
Isn't it nice to have one quote in this field?
(3 rows)
I hope this convinces you...
