This is the same PR as #2964, which was accidentally merged despite breaking some tests.
From the original PR:
These are a couple more functions whose inputs aren't being unwrapped. If the inputs come from a column with a TEXT type, then they won't be converted to strings and the functions will fail. This PR fixes this by making sure that the inputs are converted.
We missed this previously because although we have tests for these functions, none of them tested getting the inputs from TEXT columns of a table.
