I guess this is a bug in pgAdmin3, because the negator is defined in the
catalog:
# select o1.oprname, o1.oprcode, o1.oprnegate, o2.oprname as negate from
pg_operator o1 join pg_operator o2 on o1.oprnegate = o2.oid where
o1.oprname = '=' and o1.oprleft = 'int8'::regtype and o1.oprright =
'int8'::regtype;
oprname │ oprcode │ oprnegate │ negate
═════════╪═════════╪═══════════╪════════
= │ int8eq │ 411 │ <>
