inet types and LIKE doesn't work as expected

Try this:

hdbdev=> create table ips ( ip inet, ip_txt varchar(15) );
hdbdev=> insert into ips (ip,ip_txt) values ('192.168.1.1','192.168.1.1');
hdbdev=> select * from ips where ip like '192.168.1.1';
ip | ip_txt
----+--------
(0 rows)

hdbdev=> select * from ips where ip_txt like '192.168.1.1';
ip | ip_txt
-------------+-------------
192.168.1.1 | 192.168.1.1
(1 row)

That seems inconsistent?
