autotest/ogr/ogr_join_test.py: Type mismatch errors

[peifer]

I noted the below errors while running ogr_join_test.py. I guess the errors are related to this JOIN on line 173:

+ 'LEFT JOIN idlink2 ON poly.eas_id = idlink2.name ' )

...where poly.eas_id is a numeric field and idlink2.name is a string field.

The mentioned code is from line 233 of ogr_join_test.py

Should likely be backported in 1.8 branch as it is a regression w.r.t pre 1.8 behaviour, but likely not a very common use case though
