Well, requested text type can not have \u0000 byte. But seems strange: we test json type with this value but raise same error for -> operator:
We allow write such json to table, we allow read whole json, but we can not use native operators. Is this behavior expected?
It isn't that different than saying:
'123bcd'::integer -- error, invalid input for type integer
While text can hold just about everything it cannot contain an actual ASCII NUL character and so a JSON value with a unicode represented NUL cannot be converted to text. Text doesn't have a stored concept of escaped values, using escape is only valid during entry.
The final result should be json yet somewhere it seems there is an intermediate text being constructructed and that implementation detail is causing an error in an otherwise valid situation.
