Hmm ... so what that commit did is precisely to fix this bug.
Magnus thought at the time he was fixing a pg10 bug,
https://postgr.es/m/CABUevEwX4g8y=gmgfPzxFKS7gqjSYNR949Xc96OQm=YXJmh_Og@mail.gmail.com
but apparently now we see that the bug was older than that. Maybe it's
okay to backpatch further?
