After installing v12 on windows with the EDB installer, I notice that it ships with ICU 53, a relatively old version (2014). Concerning the problem just above (not the crash), ICU 53 is too old to support BCP47 tags as collation attributes, as mentioned at https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/collation.html : "The first example selects the ICU locale using a “language tag” per BCP 47. The second example uses the traditional ICU-specific locale syntax. The first style is preferred going forward, but it is not supported by older ICU versions. With ICU 53 or older, instead of the locale above, we must use the old-style syntax: locale = 'de-DE@colStrength=secondary' If you use that in your example, the case insensitive lookups should work. But it's unfortunate that the EDB build did not switch to a recent ICU version for PostgreSQL 12.
