Per https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/out-of-cycle-release-scheduled-for-november-21-2024-2958/
we're issuing releases next Thursday to fix this and fix a separate ABI break.
I've pushed postgr.es/c/7b88529 for $SUBJECT.  To maximize time-in-buildfarm,
I've pushed it without a public comment period.  I welcome post-commit review,
and I'm happy to amend the change if anyone finds something that would have
been cause for change during a standard opportunity for pre-commit review.
That said, given our wrap schedule, feedback after Saturday is less likely to
change next week's releases.  Such feedback could still affect the 2025-02
releases, of course.

I overlooked this consequence of the 2024-11-14 change.  I apologize.
