Thanks!

There is also an anomaly with the MERGE command:
CREATE TABLE t1 (i int, a int, b int, c int) PARTITION BY RANGE (a, b);
CREATE TABLE t1p1 PARTITION OF t1 FOR VALUES FROM (1, 1) TO (1, 2);

CREATE TABLE t2 (i int, t text) PARTITION BY RANGE (t);
CREATE TABLE t2pa PARTITION OF t2 FOR VALUES FROM ('A') TO ('C');

CREATE TABLE t3 (i int, t text);

ALTER TABLE t2 MERGE PARTITIONS (t1p1, t2pa, t3) INTO t2p;

leads to:
ERROR:  partition bound for relation "t3" is null
WARNING:  problem in alloc set PortalContext: detected write past chunk end in block 0x55f1ef42f820, chunk
0x55f1ef42ff40
WARNING:  problem in alloc set PortalContext: detected write past chunk end in block 0x55f1ef42f820, chunk
0x55f1ef42ff40

(I'm also not sure that the error message is clear enough (can't we say
"relation X is not a partition of relation Y" in this context, as in
MarkInheritDetached(), for example?).)

Whilst with
ALTER TABLE t2 MERGE PARTITIONS (t1p1, t2pa) INTO t2p;

I get:
