weird hash plan cost, starting with pg10

Hello

While messing with EXPLAIN on a query emitted by pg_dump, I noticed that
current Postgres 10 emits weird bucket/batch/memory values for certain
hash nodes:

-> Hash (cost=0.11..0.11 rows=10 width=12) (actual time=0.002..0.002 rows=1 loops=8)
Buckets: 2139062143 Batches: 2139062143 Memory Usage: 8971876904722400kB
-> Function Scan on unnest init_1 (cost=0.01..0.11 rows=10 width=12) (actual time=0.001..0.001 rows=1 loops=8)

It shows normal values in 9.6.

The complete query is:

I'm not looking into this right now. If somebody is bored in
quarantine, they might have a good time bisecting this.
