That seem to be the case. All the databases I used, automaticaly convert
identifiers to upper case.
And they all do it using ASCII-only conversion.

The statement works in both databases. But the problem is that it was
pg_dumpall who created SQL statements with PUBLIC. Why
pg_dumpall does not enclose identifiers in quotes, like:

REVOKE ALL ON TABLE "tamara2" FROM "public";
insted of
REVOKE ALL ON TABLE tamara2 FROM PUBLIC;
as it does now.

I will make an attempt to modify pg_dump accordingly, and will send a
patch to the list.
