A bit of googling suggests that 51949 is indeed the Windows codepage
that's equivalent with EUC-KR.

No. CP949 is not plain EUC-KR, but EUC-KR with some extensions (UHC). At
least on CVS HEAD, we recognize CP949 as an alias for the PostgreSQL
PG_UHC encoding. There's a significant difference between the two,
because PG_EUC_KR is supported as a server-encoding while PG_UHC is not.
