Are you in a position to apply patches?  It's a one-line fix:
https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=dca25c2562199ce1e7e26367613912a8eadbbde8

Alternatively, the problem doesn't manifest when the aggregate transtype
and output type are the same, so you could probably refactor your code
to use plain array_agg and apply the finalfunc separately in the SQL
query.
