This type of error points to a bug in the server. It means a query plan
is created that it can't process. A higher level node finds a lower level
node that it doesn't expect. The variability of the test failure could be
due to different plans being generated (note that V2 vs V3 can generate
different plans because of string substitution vs a prepared query). The
fact that the node number varies is a little suspicious, also because it's
a very large value. Does it vary between a couple values or is it
different every time. If it varies wildly then that could point to a
memory overwrite instead of a bad plan being created, but in any case this
problem is on the server side.
