During the connection attempt? I don't think libpq can report that
message until it tries to do a regular query (might be wrong though).
Is the client using some application that's going to issue a query
immediately on connecting?

It would be useful to turn on log_connections and log_statement (and
perhaps crank log_min_messages all the way up to DEBUG5) to see if we
can get anything in the postmaster log giving a hint what actually
happens here. A TCP sniff of the connection attempt traffic would be
pretty useful too.
