so Tom,
with a little help on Irc from Andrew (RhodiumToad) I got it 'fixed',
but I know this is just a hack:

This is just a hack, and I know it won't work. But the question is, is
it possible to fix it ?
I think something should convert types to base type somewhere up the
call level. Perhaps we should pass on oid of type+baseType ?
I also noticed that the convert_numeric_to_scalar() family of
functions is considered a future change too, atm everything there is
hardcoded pretty much.
