With that change the test just fails differently:

ERROR: could not determine data type of parameter $1

since the test query ("SELECT ?") is actually one of the cases where
string-as-unspecified-type does not work.

I changed it to use a different query that still appears to exercise the
type-changing behaviour correctly ("SELECT CAST (? AS TEXT)") but
doesn't fail with a parameter of unspecified type.
