Oh sorry, you're right. I can reproduce it.

According to http://www.php.net/manual/en/pdo.lobs.php,
using PDO for
BLOB INSERT/UPDATE should come with:
1. bindParam/bindColumn
2. PDO::PARAM_LOB
3. stream API, e.g. fopen(), fwrite(), rewind(), etc.

You may try to insert other value though you code snippet. The value
should also NOT able to insert into PostgreSQL...

The bug reproduction code in
http://drupal.org/node/316095#comment-1047830
is using pdo_pgsql
directly. The db_insert() used is just a fake clone of Drupal CVS HEAD
function with simplified programming logic.

I can't reproduce using 5.3CVS:

$db = new PDO('pgsql:host=localhost dbname=test', 'foo', 'bar',
array(PDO::ATTR_STRINGIFY_FETCHES => TRUE));

$stmt = $db->prepare("INSERT INTO test_one_blob (blob1) VALUES (?)");
$stmt->execute(array(''));
var_dump($db->errorinfo());

$stmt = $db->prepare("INSERT INTO test_one_blob (blob1) VALUES
(:foo)");
$x = '';
$stmt->bindParam(':foo', $x);
$stmt->execute();
var_dump($db->errorinfo());

$stmt = $db->query("INSERT INTO test_one_blob (blob1) VALUES ('')");
$stmt->execute();


teste=> select * from test_one_blob where blob1 is null;
 id | blob1 
----+-------
(0 registros)


Do you have tested using PDO directly, without Drupal's db_insert()?

Description:
------------
When pdo_pgsql working with:
  1. BLOB field,
  2. running INSERT/UPDATE queries, and
  3. BLOB value with empty string ''

It will always fill NULL into database and so result as buggy.
INSERT/UPDATE BLOB value with NULL will function correctly.

P.S. pdo_mysql is NOT buggy when running with similar programming
logic, empty string pass into database correctly. Tested with PHP5.2.6
and PHP5.3-dev, both are buggy.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Please refer to http://drupal.org/node/316095#comment-1047830
for more
information.

Expected result:
----------------
Empty string should fill into database correctly.

Actual result:
--------------
Empty string is now stored as NULL.
