It is pointed out on wikipedia that Java sometimes uses to byte pair C0 80 to represent the NUL character to allow it to be embedded in C strings without tripping anything up. It is however technically an illegal representation (violates the minimal representation rule) and thus rejected by postgres. I'm not suggesting we copy this, but it does show there are other ways to deal with this.
