Hmm, seems like plpgsql is also broken for multibyte encodings. it
contains some single-byte ops, like the following:

while (*s && isspace((unsigned char) *s))
s++;
if (*s++ != '.')
elog(ERROR, "expected dot between identifiers: %s", sstart);

If we state that there are fixes for multibyte encodings in 8.2, we
should note that plpgsql is still broken. Being unfamiliar with
postgresql multibyte internals, I don't see a simple way to fix it
now.
