The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference:      14853
Logged by:          Eduardo Perez
Email address:      edpeur@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: Unsupported/Unknown
Operating system:   All
Description:

The query:
SELECT ? IS NULL
should work even when the parameter type is unknown, as there is no need to
know the type in that query.
