Does anything other than initdb get weird?
For the most part I believe it's the case that libpq's idea of the enum
values is independent of the backend's. I think the issue here is that
initdb is (mis) using libpq's pg_char_to_encoding, etc, and combining
those functions with its own idea of the meanings of the enum values.
Maybe we should stop exporting pg_char_to_encoding and so on from libpq,
though I wonder if that would break any clients.
