Teiid's ODBC interaction with PostgreSQL-ODBC fails when column lengths exceed 64K as PostgreSQL stores these values as a short

I imported the AdventureWorks2000 database from SQL Server. I had a simple VDB which contained this model. In Excel I was able to see the basic metadata (names of tables), but trying to do anything with a column caused an error. The server.log reported:

The pg_attribute field was modeled as a short to conform to PostgreSQL.
