OK, I misunderstood your test case and was only looking at the second
version which works. As you noted earlier the server is responding with a
different typmod value, so this is not a JDBC problem, but a server
regression and I've forwarded this on to the -bugs list. To summarize for
them:

In 8.0 "SELECT ' '::varchar(3) FROM tab" retained the typmod value
specified in the query, but in 8.1 it is lost and -1 is used instead.
