Immediately after sending this one, I realized I could do it with a 
sub-select:

gtest=# SELECT X(SubSel.transformed_geom), Y(SubSel.transformed_geom) FROM (
  SELECT SetSRID(
    Transform(
      GeomFromText(
        'POINT(142512 1020225)', 26910
      ), 4326
    ),
  -1) AS transformed_geom) SubSel;

This works fine.
Mike.
