Sorry I was being a bit lazy and trying to avoid setting up the PG
test environment. The problem affects a domain over a custom type.
Here is a test that exhibits the behaviour (without assertions):

class DomainOverCustomTypeReflectionTest(TestBase,
AssertsExecutionResults):
    __only_on__ = 'postgresql'

    @classmethod
    def setup_class(cls):
        con = testing.db.connect()
        con.execute("CREATE TYPE testtype AS ENUM ('test')")
        con.execute('CREATE DOMAIN testdomain AS testtype')
        con.execute('CREATE TABLE testtable (question integer, answer
testdomain)')

    @classmethod
    def teardown_class(cls):
        con = testing.db.connect()
        con.execute('DROP TABLE testtable')
        con.execute('DROP DOMAIN testdomain')
        con.execute('DROP TYPE testtype')

    def test_domain_is_reflected(self):
        metadata = MetaData(testing.db)
        table = Table('testtable', metadata, autoload=True)

Thanks,

N
