Doesn't it work to cast to text and do a LIKE or regex search?
regression=# select '{"z":"\u0000"}'::json::text ~ '\\u0000';
?column?
----------
t
(1 row)
regression=# select '{"z":"\u0001"}'::json::text ~ '\\u0000';
?column?
----------
f
(1 row)
It's true that we won't let you cast such a value to JSONB or do any
exciting JSON-ish manipulations on it, but I'm not seeing an error
in cast-to-text.
