FWIW, I ran a thousand cycles of postgres_fdw installcheck without seeing
further problems. So this fixes it at least for my configuration.
However, jaguarundi still shows a problem:
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=jaguarundi&dt=2018-02-10%2008%3A41%3A32
(previous run similar, so it's semi-reproducible even after this patch).
jaguarundi uses -DCLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS, so you might try a few repetitions
with that.
