Yeah :-(. The = ANY (array) notation is new in the last release or so,
and is completely without optimization of any kind. Turn it into IN
if you can.

The RAISE statement is more than a few bricks shy of a load --- it
doesn't accept any sort of expression, only simple variable names.
I hope we get around to fixing that for 8.1, but for now, what you
have to do is assign the thing you want to display into a temporary
variable and then use that in the RAISE.

We don't presently support arrays of composite types.
You seem to be doing amazingly well at hitting multiple weak spots
of PG simultaneously ;-). Most of this stuff is on the radar, but
I wouldn't recommend holding your breath for a fix, with the exception
of the RAISE issue. RAISE is way overdue for an overhaul and I hope
we will actually get to it for 8.1.
