That may be reasonable for a text-cast, so I'm not suggesting its reinterpretation, but there is no operator I can identify immediately from the documentation to convert a JSON string value into a Postgres one like json_each_text, except on a json that contains a scalar JSON string.
This came up recently on -bugs. See <http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/51fbf787.5000...@dunslane.net>, where I suggested we expose the dequoting function.
