No, that's exactly what I've been trying to make clear.  I think the stable
tarball needs something that's been added in the CVS stable tree in order to
work properly with 8.3.  The RELEASE file in CVS says this:

RELEASE 1.2.13
- Fixed problem with compatibility with PostgreSQL 8.3; function
  typenameTypeId() has 3 arguments as of 8.3.
  
But since I don't see .13 available tarballed up on the site, I'm assuming
you're getting .12.  I presume we'll need a release of Slony for 8.3
compatibility shortly after 8.3 is released (or just before); but since it's
in beta, we're relying on people getting the code from CVS.  

The following should work:

CVSROOT=":pserver:anonymous at main.slony.info:/slony1" cvs login
CVSROOT=":pserver:anonymous at main.slony.info:/slony1" cvs co -r REL_1_2_STABLE slony1-engine

Whether this will solve your problem, I don't know, but AFAIK you won't be
able to get the .12 version to work with 8.3 betas.
