No, I am pretty sure that this is the client encoding that is
reported. It comes from here:

https://github.com/psycopg/psycopg/blob/ef6941df5b94997f79b429347c5d9b84e600bdd3/psycopg/psycopg/_en...

which is a wrapper for PQparameterStatus:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-status.html#LIBPQ-PQPARAMETERSTATUS
(so that the setting can be retrieved without running a query).

Maybe the way you are connecting via psql sets the client_encoding?
Can you try to get the result of `SHOW client_encoding` from psycopg?
