BUG #16693: Weird behaviour of function uuid_generate_v5() when used in a trigger

The following bug has been logged on the website:

Description:

Hi,

I want to generate stable UUIDs only depending on the contents of a field.
Function uuid_generate_v5 from extension uuid-ossp looked perfect. I checked
that the function generates an identical UUID even on 2 different databases
:

SELECT uuid_generate_v5 (uuid_nil (), LOWER(TRIM('ALIMENTATION')));
always generates
ff27240f-7f6c-5127-a8b1-e0289d14d895

But when I include it in a trigger, results vary each time. My trigger
contains the following

-- Génération nouvel identifiant
IF (TG_OP = 'INSERT') THEN
IF (NEW.analytique_uuid IS NULL) THEN
NEW.analytique_uuid = uuid_generate_v5(uuid_nil(),
LOWER(TRIM(groupe)));
END IF;
END IF;
-- Génération horodatages
IF (TG_OP IN ('INSERT', 'UPDATE')) THEN
NEW.ts = now();
-- Message dans le fichier de log
RAISE NOTICE '* * * Trigger % appelé % %. analytique_uuid = [%] * *
*', TG_NAME, TG_WHEN, TG_OP, NEW.analytique_uuid;
RETURN NEW;
END IF;

Using the log, the notice is available, so I'm sure that the trigger is
fired. But inserting twice the same value generates 2 diifferent UUIDs :
Example :

SELECT groupe, analytique_uuid, uuid_generate_v5 (uuid_nil (),
LOWER(TRIM(groupe))), ts FROM analytique WHERE groupe = 'ALIMENTATION';

ALIMENTATION f0974b62-5422-c44d-0766-92a7669a6678 ff27240f-7f6c-5127-a8b1-e0289d14d895 2020-10-30

ALIMENTATION 40e7a8e7-865e-407f-b1b1-e9a7331e51b3 ff27240f-7f6c-5127-a8b1-e0289d14d895 2020-10-30

Did I miss something or is it a bug ?

Thanks and regards.
