libpqnor of the protocol, but rather an arbitrary limit of the driver/library, correct?
 

No.

From:

src/interfaces/libpq/fe-exec.c

if (nParams < 0 || nParams > 65535)
         {
                 printfPQExpBuffer(&conn->errorMessage,
                                                   libpq_gettext("number 
of parameters must be between 0 and 65535\n"));
                 return 0;
         }
