Confirmed. Will be fixed today.

Makes sense. I will add this before the release.

> His final comment was:

I do not agree with his comment. He suggests to use either database or
column encoding when reading the content of the BLOB field. I believe that
the client encoding should be used (not the JVM encoding as it is now) and
server must convert the text blobs (sub_type 1) into this encoding. If
server does not do this, this is a bug and must be fixed.
