Indeed... Peter's suggestion seems to have solved all my problems. So
even though it probably shows just how embarrassingly bad my sql is...

update pg_cast set castcontext = 'i'
where (castsource = (select oid from pg_type where typname = 'bool')
and casttarget = (select oid from pg_type where typname = 'int4'))
or (castsource = (select oid from pg_type where typname = 'int4')
and casttarget = (select oid from pg_type where typname = 'bool'))

For the archives.
Thanks to everyone.
Anton
ps. This is probably only for situations where it is absolutely
necessary... but I am now passing my nunit tests! :-)
