This question was asked during PhpPgAdmin development. The answer is that "set client_encoding" is not always safe. For example: - server = SJSS - client = Unicode = mostly safe - server = Latin1 - client = Unicode = not safe, because if you enter some non-regular characters, they will be dropped during conversion.
