This used to work in 8.2:

pei=# select castsource::regtype, casttarget::regtype, castcontext from pg_cast order by 1,2;

But int 8.3 it says:

ERROR: XX000: could not find pathkey item to sort
LOCATION: make_sort_from_pathkeys, createplan.c:2812

Hmph. When we hacked that function last week, I was kinda wondering if
it shouldn't strip RelabelType from *both* sides of the comparison.
Looks like it does need that after all.
