I think you're being far too hasty to reject a highly probable
explanation. Consult the Postgis release notes to see if they
changed anything about casting-to-JSON between those two releases.
A quick look at to_jsonb's innards shows that for a non-core input type,
it will use the type's cast to JSON if there is one, while if there is
not, it will just run the type's output function and call the result a
JSON string. This seems to fit quite well with the results you show.
