Numeric issue while loading floating point-valued GeoTIFF into PostGIS

I am trying to import a floating point GeoTIFF image into PostGIS (2.1), using the following command:

raster2pgsql -s 4326 -I -M -F -C tif_dir/*.tif public.map | psql -U postgres -h localhost -d opengeo

If I omit the -C option, then there everything is OK. However, when -C is used, I get errors about numeric field overflow and Unable to add constraint: 'nodata_values'. Skipping.

In either case, select * from raster_columns returns empty.

The nodata value as reported by gdalinfo at the bottom of this question is -3.4028234663852886e+38 (, which is the most negative value of single precision floating point numbers). Is floating point value of this size (32-bit) not supported by PostGIS.

How should I fix this issue here associated with nodata?

raster2pgsql output:

And, gdalinfo gives the following description of the GeoTIFF in question:
