Yeah, odd. I must have borked this somehow, probably remnants of an older installation. I have two PG 12 servers, one where 'simple' works, which has:
Schema | Name | Result data type | Argument data types | Type
------------+-------------+------------------+---------------------+------
pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector | json | func
pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector | jsonb | func
pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector | regconfig, json | func
pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector | regconfig, jsonb | func
pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector | regconfig, text | func
pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector | text | func
And the one where it's borked:
Schema | Name | Result data type | Argument data types | Type
------------+-------------+------------------+---------------------+------
pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector | json | func
pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector | jsonb | func
pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector | regconfig, json | func
pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector | regconfig, jsonb | func
pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector | regconfig, text | func
pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector | text | func
public | to_tsvector | tsvector | oid, text | func
Seems that public function is the weirdo remnant breaking things. I ... think... I can just drop public.to_tsvector, right?

That works for me. I suspect you've got some nonstandard versions
of to_tsvector() hanging about. There should only be
regression=# \df to_tsvector
List of functions
Schema | Name | Result data type | Argument data types | Type
------------+-------------+------------------+---------------------+------
pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector | json | func
pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector | jsonb | func

pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector | regconfig, jsonb | func
pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector | regconfig, text | func
pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector | text | func
