I think it's probably past time that we stopped guessing about this
sort of thing and added some regression test cases for it.  I'm
planning to add cases like this:

-- check sane handling of INT_MIN overflow cases
SELECT (-2147483648)::int4 * (-1)::int4;
SELECT (-2147483648)::int4 / (-1)::int4;
SELECT (-2147483648)::int4 % (-1)::int4;
