Thanks for the explanation, Christian. I can confirm that the type comes out correctly if it is inserted into the table AS blob, not as plaintext. 
Therefore, the problem is on the insertion side, not  in the SELECT or QtSql.

I've closed the task.

I disagree with closing it.

When the cache is being created, it should use the same method for determining the type of a column as the record function does.

First check the name of the column type, then use the enumerated type if the string name is empty.
