Ah, I see! Yes, that's a bit weird. Put slightly differently:

test=# SELECT * FROM JSON_TABLE(jsonb '{"id" : "2000000000"}',
                '$' COLUMNS(id int PATH '$.id'));
     id
------------
 2000000000
(1 row)

Time: 0.248 ms
test=# SELECT * FROM JSON_TABLE(jsonb '{"id" : "3000000000"}',
                '$' COLUMNS(id int PATH '$.id'));
 id
----

(1 row)

Clearly, when converting the string literal into int value, there's some
sort of error handling that realizes 3B overflows, and returns NULL
instead. I'm not sure if this is intentional.
