Mike,
If I were you (actually that's what I did whne I had the same problem), I will
convert the pg_dump file from LATIN1 charset to UTF8, then copy back into the
new UTF8 database. And all should work fine.
On windows you will find that text editors like TextPad and Scite (which runs
on Linux too) will convert the file from LATIN1 to UTF8. On Linux there must be
some command line tools, but I don't know them.
I hope this helps.
Have fun,

Objet : [pgadmin-support] Character encoding conversion
I
have
a
database
which
was
originally
created
with
LATIN1
encoding.
I'd
like
to
move
it
to
UTF8.
The
data
will
load
ok
(COPY)
but
I
am
getting
'invalid
byte
sequence
for
encoding..."
messages
when
accessing
the
data.
Is
there
a
way
to
automatically
convert
the
offending
characters,
or
to
easily
locate
them
in
a
pg_dump
file
so
they
can
be
converted
by
hand?
Mike
