I see…
That would also answer another question about why null arguments
fail with the current protocol, but don't with protocol 2 (Hibernate
uses Serializable -> bytea which can not be used in any way).

That works:
SELECT CAST(? AS TIMESTAMP) IS NULL;

However this is something that would mandate rewriting hundreds of
queries in a working (with protocol version 2) product.
