I should have indicated I tried casting:

SELECT
     adrelid::regclass,
     pg_typeof(pg_get_expr(adbin, adrelid)),
     pg_get_expr(adbin, adrelid)
FROM
     pg_attrdef
WHERE
     adrelid = 'default_test'::regclass
     AND pg_get_expr(adbin, 0) = 'test'::character varying;

  adrelid | pg_typeof | pg_get_expr
---------+-----------+-------------

I also tried other combinations of casting both sides of "=" and it 
still did not work.
