Hmm, seems to work for me:

regression=# select array(select unique1 from tenk1 where unique2 < 2);
  ?column?   
-------------
 {8800,1891}
(1 row)

regression=# select array(select unique1 from tenk1 where unique2 < 1);
 ?column? 
----------
 {8800}
(1 row)

regression=# select array(select unique1 from tenk1 where unique2 < 0);
 ?column? 
----------
 {}
(1 row)

Pre-8.3 PG releases would return NULL instead of an empty array in the
last case, but 8,4 should not.  If you're seeing differently, we'll
need a self-contained test case.
