Correct.  That is functioning as intended and is not likely to
change any time soon.
 
You might consider using domains:
 
drop function if exists test1(c1 t1, c2 t2);
drop table if exists test_table;
drop domain if exists t1;
drop domain if exists t2;

create domain t1 varchar(10);
create domain t2 varchar(20);
create table test_table
(
  column1 char(20),
  column2 varchar(40)
) without oids;
create or replace function test1(c1 t1, c2 t2)
returns void as
$$
BEGIN
insert into test_table values ($1, $2);
END
$$
language plpgsql;
select
test1('12345678900123456789',
      'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789ABCD');
select * from test_table;
