Yup, per the CREATE TRIGGER documentation [1]:
arguments
An optional comma-separated list of arguments to be provided to the
function when the trigger is executed. The arguments are literal
string constants. Simple names and numeric constants can be written
here, too, but they will all be converted to strings. Please check the
description of the implementation language of the trigger function to
find out how these arguments can be accessed within the function; it
might be different from normal function arguments.

It's operating as designed. There might be scope for a feature
improvement here, but it'd be a far-from-trivial task, with probably
a lot of ensuing compatibility breakage.
