Still messy code, but the attached patch does the job now:
postgres=# SELECT x FROM
generate_series(2147483643::int4,2147483647::int4) AS a(x);
x
------------
2147483643
2147483644
2147483645
2147483646
2147483647
(5 rows)
postgres=# SELECT x FROM
generate_series(2147483642::int4,2147483647::int4, 2) AS a(x);
x
------------
2147483642
2147483644
2147483646
(3 rows)
postgres=# SELECT x FROM
generate_series(2147483643::int4,2147483647::int4, 6) AS a(x);
x
------------
2147483643
(1 row)
postgres=# SELECT x FROM generate_series((-2147483643)::int4,
(-2147483648)::int4, -1) AS a(x);
