Oh, actually, it's not a problem in PG11 ... or at least, it's not THIS
problem in pg11. The bug was introduced by 1d92a0c9f7dd which ended the
DEPENDENCY_INTERNAL_AUTO saga, so the bug is only in master, and that
explains why I hadn't seen the problem before with my posted patch
series.

I think the attached is a better solution, which I'll go push shortly.
