Sorry I must have been dizzy today with so much support.
Yep, there are some infinity in there, but not in this result set.
I think when the casting is in the WHERE filter for some reason some
subplan uses this filter (and fails). But when this check is applied to
the result, no infinity is found and works correctly.
