You can combine Postgres misconfigured not to be UTF-8 with UTF-8 strings with multibyte characters where the validation passes because the string 100 letters or less but the database won't be able to fit the 101 bytes into the column. It is easy to say don't misconfigure Postgres, but it can happen even when you validate correctly. The message is rather vague and could be more helpful, but not if it requires hacks. You can look into the values of variables in the rather long stacktrace to figure out what is happening.
