Well, that is very interesting. It works for integer and text, and it
works if you ask for the entire relation, but if you ask just for that
field _and_ it is money, it fails. Sure looks like a bug to me.

Yeah. I'll have a look. In fact this looks like it's possibly a couple
of bugs. The JSON produced by the first query is not valid. It looks
like we might need to force money to text unconditionally.

Isn't this simply failure to quote the string properly? What drives
to_json's choice of whether to quote or not, anyway?

If it's numeric, it only quotes if it sees a non-numeric character,
defined thus:
/* letters appearing in numeric output that aren't valid in a JSON
number */
#define NON_NUMERIC_LETTER "NnAaIiFfTtYy"
I forgot about money when I did that - some of this dates back to 9.2.
I'm about to test the attached patch which should force money to be
quoted always.

This turned out to be not such a good idea. Quite apart from anything
else it doesn't handle domains over money at all well.
The attached patch abandons the test described above, and instead passes
the string from the output function to the json number lexer to see if
it's a valid json number. A small adjustment to the API of that
function was required to make it suitable for this use. This seems like
a much more robust approach.
