Good catch. It's definitely a bug in copy command. Please try
following patches (this is against 7.2).

*** src/backend/commands/copy.c.orig Tue Feb 26 21:11:05 2002
--- src/backend/commands/copy.c Tue Feb 26 21:11:35 2002
***************
*** 1024,1030 ****
CopyReadAttribute(FILE *fp, bool *isnull, char *delim, int *newline, char *null_print)
{
int c;
! int delimc = delim[0];

#ifdef MULTIBYTE
int mblen;
--- 1024,1030 ----
CopyReadAttribute(FILE *fp, bool *isnull, char *delim, int *newline, char *null_print)
{
int c;
! int delimc = (unsigned char)delim[0];

#ifdef MULTIBYTE
int mblen;
