I checked on my own Debian box, which shows

$ gcov --version
gcov (Debian 6.3.0-18+deb9u1) 6.3.0 20170516

$ lcov --version
lcov: LCOV version 1.13

and what I get is:
492 0 : elog(ERROR, "predicate_classify returned a bogus value");
803 0 : elog(ERROR, "predicate_classify returned a bogus value");

so.

In the coverage.pg.org box, we have:

$ cat .lcovrc
lcov_branch_coverage = 1

I'm going to do a test run with that disabled and see what happens.
