Have to believe it is related to this:

https://odbc.postgresql.org/docs/release.html
"
psqlODBC 09.05.0100 Release

12. Send datatype information for query parameters, when known
If a query parameter is bound with a specific SQL type, pass on that
information to the server. This makes the behaviour of queries like
"SELECT '555' > ?" more sensible, where the result depends on whether
the query parameter is interpreted as an integer or a string.
"


As the error shows up after the ResolveOneParam section of the log. It
seems to me the parameter is being set as a float. This will need
confirmation from someone with more knowledge of the internals then I
though. I have NOT Cced the list, as I am not sure how far you want the
information in the log to reach, so you might to send a condensed
version of the above to the list for more eyes to see.
