Out of core, the only thing I can see with isolation tests is rum, but
it uses a workaround to have an access to the necessary binaries.
I would've liked to backpatch but don't really care very much. If it's going to take time away from others things, don't do it.
I landed up having to make my own lightly customised postgres packages to use as test workflow inputs anyway. So I included the full set of isolation test utilities, packaged the test inputs etc.
I'd prefer not to have to do it, but it's done. So long as it's fixed going forward it didn't matter that much.
Now server_version_num on the other hand ... :P
