Yep, see
https://postgr.es/m/20221209001511.n3vqodxobqgscuil%40awork3.anarazel.de
and then the prototype patch at
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20221209020815.wsoixct72c6hst5l%40awork3.anarazel.de

without that patch the tests failed locally within < 10 iterations, with
it I got through 100 without a failure.

Greetings,
