My guess is there is an index on the column:

        test=> create table txt (val text);
        CREATE TABLE
        test=> create index i_txt on txt(val);
        CREATE INDEX
        test=> insert into txt values (repeat('long string', 1000000));
        ERROR:  index row requires 125944 bytes, maximum size is 8191

You should probably not index long columns but rather index an md5 hash
of the value.
