That is because the to_tsquery() normalizes the tokens. Here is
what I get from the default configuration:

db=# select to_tsquery('holly:*');
 to_tsquery 
------------
 'holli':*
(1 row)

db=# select to_tsquery('holl:*');
 to_tsquery 
------------
 'holl':*
(1 row)

It is pretty easy to see why you see the behavior that you do.
Maybe you need to change your tsearch configuration to match what
you expect to happen.
