Not surprising. As I understand it this is the code used to build the
type entries in the system catalog pg_type. As was mentioned in your
previous link:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/17/libpq-exec.html#LIBPQ-PQFTYPE
the suggested way to get type information is:
"You can query the system table pg_type to obtain the names and
properties of the various data types. "
