Here is what I've found so far:

* It seems that technically the regression was introduced in
ea190ed14b, but not directly, via using gather paths in more
situations.

* The direct problem is that JsonbIteratorInit is confused by the
argument, because it contains both headers for array and object set.
From what I understood this confusion stems from
ExecMakeFunctionResultSet taking wrong value from the slot. Hacking it
to use different attnum in this case makes it work.

* The explanation for this could be that target list from where attnum
is taken and slot values have different order of elements. This in
turn comes out of grouping planner trying to isolate SRF and SRF-free
targets and as a result changing the order of elements in
final_target. The final_target is then passed into
create_ordered_paths and applied via apply_projection_to_path, but
somehow goes in disagreement with what is used while creating the slot
with values.

If this analysis is correct, I'm not sure yet what would be the best
course of action to address the problem, need to think a bit more. But
probably others have suggestions or comments?
