I've found compareItems() code to not apply appropriate cast to/from
Datum. Fixed in 7881bb14f4. This makes test pass on my local 32-bit
machine. I'll keep look on buildfarm.
It seems that caller (executePredicate()) don't NULL values to
compareItems(). It does do only for predicates, which doesn't have
right argument. But binary predicate with lacking argument should be
detected during syntactic analysis.
