I don't believe the patch in question ever got applied.

The 7.5 server doesn't suffer from the same "type mismatch prevents use
of an index" problem, I believe. Or you could add an explicit ::int8
cast to your query.

My v3 protocol changes should fix this against a 7.4 server, but they're
some distance away from making it into the official driver at the moment.
