I re-installed postgresql as a service and CREATE TYPE AS works. So I then re-installed postgresql as a program (as I had originally done) and CREATE TYPE AS doesn't work.
Perhaps you could check this on your system.

Please copy and paste the exact command you're running and the exact
error message.  It's important to copy the actual command and error
rather than type what you *think* they are because minor differences
can sometimes matter.

The following works for me in PostgreSQL 8.0.1:

CREATE TYPE product AS (name varchar, price numeric);
