Thanks for this input. I guess I was mistaken about the commit that caused this
and it's most likely this one since this one fails as well.

Here is a trivial example to exercise that doesn't involve PostGIS.

CREATE TABLE edge AS SELECT 1 AS edge_id;
SELECT 't3280', 'L1b' || generate_series(1,10)
FROM edge
ORDER BY 1;

Now that said, I think I should change our test since it's using questionable assumptions anyway.
My only concern with this issue is that it's behavior that was allowed before in 10 a stable branch
and it's changing in a micro release.

I doubt few others would be bitten by though, but probably still worthwhile to put a note about it in the upcoming release notes
if this new behavior is kept.

Thanks,
