Those sound like bugs in your patch. Specifically:
+ /* Same approach as hash_range */ + result = hash_uint32_extended((uint32) flags, seed); + result ^= lower_hash; + result = (result << 1) | (result >> 63); + result ^= upper_hash;
Yes, you are correct.
That doesn't give compatible results. The easiest thing to do might be to rotate the high 32 bits and the low 32 bits separately. JsonbHashScalarValueExtended has the same problem. Maybe create a helper function that does something like this (untested):
WHERE hash_range(v)::bit(32) != hash_range_extended(v, 0)::bit(32)
OR hash_range(v)::bit(32) = hash_range_extended(v, 1)::bit(32);

Yes, I think you should return the seed rather than 0 in the cases where the current code hard-codes a 0 return. That will give the same behavior in the seed == 0 case while cheaply getting us something a bit different when there is a seed.
Fixed in the attached version.
BTW, you should probably invent and use a PG_RETURN_UINT64 macro in this patch.
