Hi,
anycompatible didn't accept anyarray. Example from system catalogs:
SELECT most_common_freqs[
array_position(most_common_vals::text::text[],'range_ops'::text)
] * 100 AS occurrence_percent
FROM pg_stats
WHERE schemaname='pg_catalog' AND tablename ='pg_opfamily' AND attname='opfname';
occurrence_percent
--------------------
2.7397260069847107
must be cast to text::text[] without cast:
ERROR: function array_position(anyarray, text) does not exist
Is bug that function with anycompatiblearray didn't accept anyarray data type?
regards, David Turoň

This one might be more so:
https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git&a=commitdiff&h=9e38c2bb50
Also see the very first item in the v14 compatibility notes:
User-defined objects that reference certain built-in array functions
along with their argument types must be recreated (Tom Lane)
Specifically, array_append(), array_prepend(), array_cat(),
array_position(), array_positions(), array_remove(), array_replace(),
and width_bucket() used to take anyarray arguments but now take
anycompatiblearray. Therefore, user-defined objects like aggregates
and operators that reference those array function signatures must be
dropped before upgrading, and recreated once the upgrade completes.
