Hmm.  The above is arguably a DBD::Pg bug: it should not expect that
it's okay to use the same prepared statement in both cases.  I do not
know what the spec is for "prepare_cached", but it sure seems that the
concept is fraught with danger --- the client-side driver has very
little hope of knowing what server-side events might be reasons to
invalidate the query cache.  (Not that the server side is presently
all that good about it, but at least the server side is fixable
in principle ;-))
