Comment(by dustymugs):

 The base ST_ValueCount returns an integer (or a set of) while the coverage
 ST_ValueCount returns bigint.  The coverage version returns bigint because
 it uses a sum aggregate where PostgreSQL likes to use a bigint for a set
 of integers.  If I had made the base ST_ValueCount return a bigint instead
 of an integer, the coverage ST_ValueCount would have returned numeric.
