Sure did you, and I'm pretty sure you did with the "number"
type as well since there is no such datatype in the system by
default. Maybe you haven't found the function(s) returning
that typo - er type yet, but if you find some, there isn't
much more useful to do with them than dropping.
Try a
SELECT proname FROM pg_proc P, pg_type T
WHERE P.prorettype = T.oid
AND T.typname = 'number';
The reason why it says that the owner appears to be invalid
is, that the created pg_type shell has owner ID 0 yet.

You need to complete these type definitions, before you can
drop the resulting datatype again. The commands
CREATE TYPE interger (
INPUT=textin, OUTPUT=textout,
INTERNALLENGTH=variable);
DROP TYPE interger;
should take care of one of them.
