INSERT INTO person (firstname, lastname, id) VALUES ('Ted', 'Petrosky', 
E'021D57D63ED54328A5411B07442E262E')

this is what shows up in the database:    
\x3032314435374436334544353433323841353431314230373434324532363245


INSERT INTO person (firstname, lastname, id) VALUES ('Ted', 'Petrosky', 
decode(E'F84B2A6880C948F4959EDB5FCF5347FE', 'hex'))

this is what shows up in the database:     \xf84b2a6880c948f4959edb5fcf5347fe


so, it looks like the full decode statement is necessary.
