I have ended up writing a function (more accurately, two functions) which always convert a value into an array, either by returning the array immediately or by nesting it inside one so that all queries can use the second form, above.

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION make_array(anyarray)  RETURNS anyarray AS
'select $1'  LANGUAGE sql IMMUTABLE COST 1;
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION make_array(anynonarray)  RETURNS anyarray AS
'select array[$1]'  LANGUAGE sql IMMUTABLE COST 1;

Oooh, that's clever. Nice!

People say function overloading is no good ....
