you can allways do the ARRAY(SELECT...) outside the grouping:
# select *,(select ARRAY(
SELECT a.id
FROM item_log as a
WHERE foo.item_id=a.item_id
AND foo.price=a.price
)
) AS item_id_array
from (
select count(*),item_id, price
from item_log
group by item_id, price
) as foo;
count | item_id | price | item_id_array
-------+---------+-------+---------------
3 | 1 | 100 | {1,2,3}
6 | 1 | 200 | {4,5,6,7,8,9}
2 | 2 | 200 | {10,11}
(3 rows)
but i suspect the aggregate will perform better
