Thanks, I've applied a change like this (though with the description
mainly in the commit message and not in a code comment, so not using
your patch) for head and backpatched it into the supported branches,
as it's clearly wrong.

For future reference, please post patches to the pgsql-hackers
mailinglist, instead of the pgsql-general, to make sure that it gets
the attention of the developers. It worked this time, but that's
better for next time.
