Is that 8.0 you're working against there? Here's my 7.4.6 installation:
$ psql -c "create view fooview as select 'bar' as footype"
WARNING: column "footype" has type "unknown"
DETAIL: Proceeding with relation creation anyway.
CREATE VIEW
$ psql -c "select * from fooview"
footype
---------
bar
(1 row)
