I finally found some time to debug this, and I think I found a better
patch than the one you proposed. Mine is still hackish and is still a
workaround around a proper quoting solution, but at least it repairs
the parsing without introducing the \' quoting again.

I consider this a band-aid patch to fix the recent security update.
PostgreSQL gurus, would you consider applying this until a better
solution is found for DBMirror.pl?

Olivier, can you please confirm that the patch works for you, too?

Backpatched to 8.0.X.
