Speaking without full knowledge here but...

This has nothing to do with PostgreSQL; in fact the database never even sees the original form of the query. In order to facilitate portability ODBC and JDBC have internal escape sequences for certain things. In this case you want to bypass that escaping and supply the raw SQL to the server and thus you need to follow the suggestion and turn off escape processing. If you do this and the problem does not go away then there is a bug otherwise things are working logically and as intended.

If you still do not like the solution take it up with the JDBC specification writers; the people on this mailing list are just following instructions.
