The following (untested) structure should be immune to this problem...use the knowledge as you see ​fit.

USING ('example_attribute_value' = ANY ( ARRAY( SELECT unnest(attr) FROM current_attributes() ca (attr) ) )

I cannot imagine the ARRAY(...) being removed and its presence should force the scalar = ANY(array) interpretation.

This does seem broken and likely to be back-patched though - and unnest+ARRAY is definitely inefficient so there is a trade-off involved - but hopefully only in the short-term (a couple of months probably...?).


​Actually, the ARRAY is pointless - just use the scalar = ANY(subquery) form which the unnest makes work correctly.
