Duh, you are right.  Will fix that.

If you didn't need it for the text version, you won't need it for the
binary version.  The type OID is only needed if the query is such that
the backend can't determine the type of the parameter symbol from
context.  Whether you send the parameter value as text or binary has
nada to do with that.
