Still the same test fails for me.

postgres=# copy t1 from stdin;
out of memory
postgres=# copy t1 from stdin; --hangs here

It hangs in second statement, basically I think you can't change the
state to PGASYNC_BUSY on failure in case of copy in below code.

+ case PGASYNC_FATAL:
+ res = NULL;
+ /*
+ * Set the state back to BUSY, allowing parsing to proceed to
+ * consume messages coming from the server.
+ */
+ conn->asyncStatus = PGASYNC_BUSY;
+ break;

I think you need to keep the state as PGASYNC_COPY_*, so that
the pending data can be discarded.
