The issue with regular table types was there before but had no
chance to reveal itself. I forgot to mention earlier that PgAdmin 1.18
doesn't search for Types at all.

wxT(" WHERE t.typtype != 'd' AND t.typname NOT LIKE E'\\_%' ")
had to be double-escaped:
wxT(" WHERE t.typtype != 'd' AND t.typname NOT LIKE E'\\\\_%' ");

I couldn't reproduce the case you described in whole it's crazyness :)
but hope that it would be an appropriate fix to filter out table types
when "Show system objects" is off.

Done, changed vgap from 3 to 5.

Please see the attached patch.
