The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference:      16616
Logged by:          Dan Liu
Email address:      139250065@qq.com
PostgreSQL version: 12.4
Operating system:   18.04.5 LTS (Bionic Beaver)
Description:

I created a extension by C language, and deltatype is a new data type 

CREATE TYPE     deltatype;
CREATE FUNCTION deltatype_in(cstring)       RETURNS deltatype IMMUTABLE
STRICT LANGUAGE C AS '$libdir/bz', 'deltatype_in';
CREATE FUNCTION deltatype_out(deltatype)    RETURNS cstring   IMMUTABLE
STRICT LANGUAGE C AS '$libdir/bz', 'deltatype_out';
CREATE FUNCTION deltatype_receive(internal) RETURNS deltatype IMMUTABLE
STRICT LANGUAGE C AS '$libdir/bz', 'deltatype_receive';
CREATE FUNCTION deltatype_send(deltatype)   RETURNS bytea     IMMUTABLE
STRICT LANGUAGE C AS '$libdir/bz', 'deltatype_send';

CREATE TYPE deltatype 
(
    INPUT   = deltatype_in, 
    OUTPUT  = deltatype_out, 
    RECEIVE = deltatype_receive,
    SEND    = deltatype_send,
    INTERNALLENGTH = 1, 
    ALIGNMENT = char,
    PASSEDBYVALUE
);   

It works well execpt when I use  explain in psql

> explain select 'new'::deltatype <> 'old'::deltatype;
