Somewhere between 8.2 and 9.0 convert() was redefined to take and return
bytea, not text, to reflect the fact that the data it deals in isn't
necessarily encoded in the database's character encoding.  This was part
of a general tightening up to ensure that text that ought to be in the
database encoding really is.

There are some related functions now that convert between text (assumed
to be in the database encoding) and bytea strings in a specified
encoding.  You probably want to switch over to using those.
