I've been thinking about that. It seems that the regression tests
have
fairly poor coverage of use of typmod-bearing data types in general;
most of our tests of complicated queries tend to use "simple"
datatypes
like int or text. I don't have any immediate thoughts what to do
about
that --- massive expansion of the tests doesn't seem justified --- but
this isn't the first bug we've hit in this area. It's just a bit more
embarrassing than most :-(
What about the idea that's been floated in the past about a --
extensive mode for regression testing that would (generally) only be
used by the build farm. That would mean others wouldn't have to
suffer through extremely long make check's.
Or is there another reason not to expand the tests?

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match
