Per documentation of "ANY" it accepts either an array or a subquery. This
is the subquery form. PostgreSQL is trying to convert 'test' into an array
in order to match the array column returned by the subquery.
Remove the "SELECT" to make it work the way you expect - i.e., the
ANY(array) form of the expression.
