Yeah, odd. I must have borked this somehow, probably remnants of an older
installation. I have two PG 12 servers, one where 'simple' works, which has:

   Schema   |    Name     | Result data type | Argument data types | Type
------------+-------------+------------------+---------------------+------
 pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector         | json                | func
 pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector         | jsonb               | func
 pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector         | regconfig, json     | func
 pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector         | regconfig, jsonb    | func
 pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector         | regconfig, text     | func
 pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector         | text                | func

And the one where it's borked:

   Schema   |    Name     | Result data type | Argument data types | Type
------------+-------------+------------------+---------------------+------
 pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector         | json                | func
 pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector         | jsonb               | func
 pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector         | regconfig, json     | func
 pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector         | regconfig, jsonb    | func
 pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector         | regconfig, text     | func
 pg_catalog | to_tsvector | tsvector         | text                | func
 public     | to_tsvector | tsvector         | oid, text           | func

Seems that public function is the weirdo remnant breaking things. I ...
think... I can just drop public.to_tsvector, right?
