The weird formatting of the error message suggests that the problem
is DOS-style newlines (CR/LF). COPY only likes Unix-style newlines
(LF). It thinks the CRs are part of the data, and then the datatype
input routines (like pg_atoi) spit up. Since pg_atoi spits back the
text it couldn't parse (including the CR), you get this bizarre-looking
overprinted message.
Solution: save the import file with Unix newlines, or run it through
a newline-fixing filter.
