 *** OUTSTANDING ISSUE WITH PostgreSQL 8.1 ***

 In view of the risks, running replication between versions seems to be
 something you should not keep running any longer than is necessary to
 migrate to 8.1.

+Extracting from that:
+---------------------------------------------------------------
+Upgrading UNICODE databases to 8.1
+
+Postgres 8.1 includes a number of bug-fixes and improvements to
+Unicode and UTF-8 character handling.  Unfortunately previous releases
+would accept character sequences that were not valid UTF-8.  This
+may cause problems when upgrading your database using
+pg_dump/pg_restore resulting in an error message like this:
+
+  Invalid UNICODE byte sequence detected near byte ...
+
+To convert your pre-8.1 database to 8.1 you may have to remove and/or
+fix the offending characters.  One simple way to fix the problem is to
+run your pg_dump output through the iconv command like this:
+
+  iconv -c -f UTF8 -t UTF8 -o fixed.sql dump.sql
+
+The -c flag tells iconv to omit invalid characters from output.
