As mentioned on the nearby thread, will fix. I suppose this ought to be
back-patched.

Maybe a note, something like this?
------------
When asynchronous queries are initiated by dblink_send_query(), the
error message associated with the connection might not get updated until
the server's response message is consumed. This typically means that
dblink_is_busy() or dblink_get_result() should be called prior to
dblink_error_message(), so that any error generated by the asynchronous
query() will be visible.
