I did some manual testing.

All versions are tested failed miserably (I tested master, 12, 11, 10,
9.6…). High probability that it is a newly introduced gcc bug, however pg
is not a nice self contain tested case to submit to gcc for debugging:-(

I suggest to ignore for the time being, and if the problem persist I'll
try to investigate to detect which gcc commit caused the regression.
