We had this happen to us - we had a serial8 column (int8) and our query
was straight forward where id = 12345; which ran craptacularly. After
much head banging and cursing I had tried where id = '12345' and it
magically worked. I think the parser is interpreting a "number" to be an
int4 instead of int8. (instead of quotes you can also cast via
12345::int8 like you did)

Perhaps this should go on the TODO - when one side is an int8 and the
other is a literal number assume the number to be int8 instead of int4?
