I'd read

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/dynamic-trace.html#DEFINING-TRACE-POINTS

and then go see if those tracepoints are fully conforming to the
coding rules in the modified version. A plausible bet is that
their entries in probes.d don't entirely match up with the calls
in the source code. You could compare the relevant bits of code
between vanilla and modified 16.4 if the problem isn't immediately
obvious.
