Tom, I was unable to reproduce the issue with standard libpq. Moreover, I found why it was returned as Text. It was actually a bug in passing resultFormats in the Bind message. Sorry for the false alert, my fault.
Thank you for the help!

You haven't presented a test case demonstrating that that happens in unmodified community source code. If it does happen, I'd be happy to look into it, because I agree it'd be a bug. But I have other things to spend my time on than reverse-engineering test cases out of code fragments dependent on incompletely-described custom modifications of Postgres.
