I see this with PostgreSQL 9.4.7 and some 8.x versions running on Linux Red Hat. Older versions "supposedly" do not exhibit this behavior, but I didn't check. $ psql Password: psql: FATAL: could not access file "\x246c69626469722f757466385f616e645f69736f383835395f31": No such file or directory

We upgrading some old database (7.3.10 to 8.4.4). This involves running pg_dump on the old db and loading the datafile to the new db. If this matters we do not use pg_restore, the dump file is just sourced with psql, and this is where I ran into problem: psql: .../postgresql_archive.src/...
