Cannot make GIN intarray index be used by the planner

Hello all,

I am trying to move from GiST intarray index to GIN intarray index, but my
GIN index is not being used by the planner.

The normal query is like that

select *
from sourcetablewith_int4
where ARRAY[myint] <@ myint_array
and some_other_filters

(with GiST index everything works fine, but GIN index is not being used)

If I create the same table populating it with text[] data like

select myint_array::text[] as myint_array_as_textarray
into newtablewith_text
from sourcetablewith_int4

and then create a GIN index using this new text[] column

the planner starts to use the index and queries run with grate speed when
the query looks like that:

select *
from newtablewith_text
where ARRAY['myint'] <@ myint_array_as_textarray
and some_other_filters

Where the problem can be with _int4 GIN index in this constellation?

by now the enable_seqscan is set to off in the configuration.

With best regards,
