Thanks for the minimal reproducer! I confirm that this problem is visible
in the v12 and v13 branches, but not before or after. On the master
branch, it was introduced at

Author: Alvaro Herrera <alvherre(at)alvh(dot)no-ip(dot)org>
Branch: master Release: REL_14_BR [25936fd46] 2021-02-27 18:09:15 -0300
Fix use-after-free bug with AfterTriggersTableData.storeslot

and repaired, seemingly accidentally, by

Postpone some stuff out of ExecInitModifyTable.

25936fd46 was back-patched into v12 and v13, which is why they show
the bug. c5b7ba4e6 was not back-patched, both because it'd be way too
invasive and because we weren't aware that it was fixing anything.
I'm not really sure that it *did* fix anything --- perhaps there are
variants of this example that still fail?
