Thank you for the report, and thank you for providing a self-contained 
testing script! I've assigned a bug to this problem:                   

https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=53854

The bug has been fixed in subversion r13749. If you would like 
to confirm the fix locally, it's a small patch to the
dbdimp.c file:

        sv_setpv(DBIc_STATE(imp_xxh), (char*)imp_dbh->sqlstate);

+       /* Set as utf-8 */
+       if (imp_dbh->pg_enable_utf8)
+               SvUTF8_on(DBIc_ERRSTR(imp_xxh));
+
        if (TEND) TRC(DBILOGFP, "%sEnd pg_error\n", THEADER);

 } /* end of pg_error */


Thanks again, this will most likely go out soon in version 2.16.1.
