Oh, I see. relation_openrv_extended() calls it.

If we called it at the start of every query, couldn't we dispense with
the call in relation_openrv_extended()? On net, that would actually
mean fewer calls to AcceptInvalidationMessages(), assuming you
sometimes run queries that touch multiple relations. And the behavior
would be more predictable, too, because you'd (hopefully) have no
cases where a command failed to see the results of DDL that committed
before the command was issued.
