You haven't presented a test case demonstrating that that happens in
unmodified community source code. If it does happen, I'd be happy to look
into it, because I agree it'd be a bug. But I have other things to spend
my time on than reverse-engineering test cases out of code fragments
dependent on incompletely-described custom modifications of Postgres.
