Let me try on v6.5beta1...
prova=> create table test(i8 int8);
CREATE
prova=> insert into test values(19980528112607 );
NOTICE: Integer input '19980528112607' is out of range; promoted to float
INSERT 145481 1
prova=> insert into test values('19980528112607' );
INSERT 145482 1
prova=> insert into test values('19980528112607'::int8);
INSERT 145483 1
prova=> select * from test;
i8

19980528112607

Seems that works fine. And now trying bounds...
prova=> insert into test values(-9223372036854775808);
NOTICE: Integer input '9223372036854775808' is out of range; promoted to
float
ERROR: Floating point conversion to int64 is out of range
prova=> insert into test values('-9223372036854775808');
INSERT 145486 1
prova=> insert into test values(9223372036854775807);
NOTICE: Integer input '9223372036854775807' is out of range; promoted to
float

prova=> insert into test values('9223372036854775807');
INSERT 145487 1
prova=> select * from test;
i8

It works if the data is enclosed with ''. :)
prova=> select version();
version
