I finally isolated the metadata causing the gbak error: as expected by
Ivan Prenosil, it's a stored procedure like this:

set term ^ ;
create procedure SP_TESTBLOB (id_in integer, blob_in blob)
returns (id_out integer, blob_out blob) as
begin suspend; end^
set term ; ^

The error occurs even if such proc is the only object in the database.

So what does it mean ? Is blob blr encoding has changed between ODS
10.5 and ODS11?
