This appears to fix the problem.  I suggest the following FAQ item:

Q: Why do I get "Error On Line 1" trying to load SQL files created with
pgAdmin using psql or other command-line tools?

A: The command-line tools you are using are not unicode-friendly, or are
not configured to be.  You should turn off Unicode in the pgAdmin
preferences for the Editor.
