This isn't hugely surprising in general. varchar has no operations
of its own; PG treats it as sort of a domain over text. So if you
do anything at all to a varchar column, it'd be quite likely for
the column to be implicitly coerced to text within the query.

Is that the *exact* query you're issuing? I don't see anything
in that that would cause a coercion, but maybe you left out some
relevant detail.
