It should but isn't fully.

For mysql->postgres migration you have to modify attachments that
contain NUL-characters, because the postgres API doesn't support
constants containing NUL-characters.

For postgres->mysql this is not a problem, you just waste some
space because the attachments will be stored base64-encoded when
not necessary.
