Yeah, if it was *only* client_encoding then I wouldn't mind a hack
solution too much, but search_path is similarly affected and it's not
hard to foresee other GUCs in future that might require catalog access.
So I'd prefer a reasonably clean solution.

It's always been the case that messages could come out before we can set
client_encoding. I believe we have things set up so that you'll get the
untranslated, plain-ASCII-English message in that situation. Feel free
to test ;-)
