You can use --ignore-errors on InitDb.pl but I think you might come across 
something else that causes a problem.

Something else to try is use --fix-broken-utf8 as an extra option to 
InitDb.pl

Which versions of the following are you using.

PostgreSQL
DBD::Pg (anything higher than 1.32 has been known to cause problems)
DBI
