Thanks for the info --- we have been unable to get these values from
previous complainants, so this is a real help.

Yeah, that's what I think too. Specifically, we expect the gettext
package to deliver translated error messages in the server_encoding,
but it seems that's not what we're getting on Windows. Without having
dug into the gettext code, I wonder whether it is looking at lc_ctype
and thinking it should return WIN1252 strings.
Another interesting question is how initdb allowed you to select the
above combination of settings. 8.3 is supposed to enforce that
server_encoding is the same as the encoding implied by lc_ctype,
which is evidently not the case here. I recall we were tinkering with
that code before 8.3 release, but I guess it's still not right :-(
