Thanks! It's clear.
Although there is a test case that lead to this assertion to be triggered.

I described this case in as it seems to me suitable thread:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/56bf8ff9-dd8c-47b2-872a-748ede82af99%40postgrespro.ru

Would be appreciate if you take a look on it.

With the best wishes,
