I've been thinking about that.  It seems that the regression tests have
fairly poor coverage of use of typmod-bearing data types in general;
most of our tests of complicated queries tend to use "simple" datatypes
like int or text.  I don't have any immediate thoughts what to do about
that --- massive expansion of the tests doesn't seem justified --- but
this isn't the first bug we've hit in this area.  It's just a bit more
embarrassing than most :-(
        regards, tom lane
