composite type or domain type are supposed to fail if there are any
stored values of that type in the database, because they lack the
infrastructure needed to update or check such values. Previously,
these checks could miss relevant values that are wrapped inside range
types or sub-domains, possibly allowing the database to become
inconsistent.
