I had some free time so I started to take a look at that patch:

+ PostgresPollingStatusType
+ pqAppnamePoll(PGconn *conn)
...
+ case APPNAME_STATE_OPTION_WAIT:
...
+ else
+ {
+ /* Query finished, so we're done */
+ conn->setenv_state = APPNAME_STATE_IDLE;
+ return PGRES_POLLING_OK;
+ }
+ break;
+ }
Shouldnt that set appname_state?

The attached patch fixes this and also a couple occurances of trailing
whitespace.

What about pg_dump/psql setting fallback_application_name?
