Are you using 8.0?  I don't think earlier versions allowed this.

This error doesn't agree with the INSERT statement you gave -- it
should say "function qwerty_udt(integer) does not exist".  Where
does test_x() come from?  Did you type the SQL statements and/or
error messages instead of cutting and pasting?  We can see what's
happening, but it's better to paste the exact statements and output
to avoid mistakes.

See the "Composite Types" documentation -- it has a section entitled
"Composite Value Input":
