With the new type conversion code:

tgl=> create table mm (m money);
CREATE
tgl=> insert into mm values ('$1600.00');
INSERT 268105 1
tgl=> select m * 1.1 from mm;
?column?
---------
$1,760.00
(1 row)

But,

tgl=> select cast(m as float8) from mm;
float8
----------
1077124288
(1 row)

So there is some funny interaction on the casting, the same as you found
in v6.3.2 (and presumably forever), which I will look into...
