There was no change between 8.0 and 8.0.9 on such a point, because
adding or removing a cast would have required an initdb which we don't
do in minor releases. Just to prove it, I checked out 8.0.6 and
rebuilt it:
template1=# select version();
version

PostgreSQL 8.0.6 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 4.1.1 20060525 (Red Hat 4.1.1-1)

Better look harder; there's *something* nonstandard about your 8.0
database.
