7.4.7: due to optimizing of my query logik breaks

hi,

i have a zip code field in a table that is used by "international"
customers, which lead to very "random" data there. but a query should be
possible "by number" if there is only a number in the field. for
queriing the table an admin user can generate queries with a visual
interface - but the optimizier then kills my logic:

[fragment from the query - plz is the zip-code field]

...
) AND (
    eintrag.email like '%example.com'     -- #1
    OR (
        eintrag.plz ~ '^[0-9]{1,9}$'
        AND
        int4(eintrag.plz) = '0'
       ) -- #2
      )
...

an EXPLAIN shows me the result:

...
) AND (
    (
        (plz)::text ~ '^[0-9]{1,9}$'::text
    ) OR (
        email ~~ '%example.com'::text
    )
) AND (
    (
        int4((plz)::text) = 0
    ) OR (
        email ~~ '%example.com'::text
    )
)
...

of course this somehow "correct" assuming only boolean-logic - but not
for someone thinking in terms of a C-programmer.

please note: i can not reorder the #1 and #2 query parts, as the user
gives the order. i can only influence the generated sql-code to some
extends. of course another option would be to "fix the cast, if its
numbers" - but i have lots of other query parts, that contain more then
one compare itself that depend on each other.
