I remember seeing something similar with FoxPro some time back.

If it's the same issue, then it stems from the fact that Delphi doesn't
have the exact same data types as PostgreSQL, and thus it must do some
mapping to get as close as possible.  Memo is a pretty close match for
TEXT (at least it was in Fox).

This isn't a bug in PostgreSQL.  I don't believe it's a bug at all, it's
just an interoperability quirk.
