Not in this backend/process.
I believe postgis/mapserver uses cursors in a separate process, though...

Our report runs like:
SELECT large_object_oid FROM ... WHERE name=$1 AND user=$2 ... FOR UPDATE -- our reports are stored as LOs and read by readlo
begin;
SET enable_nestloop=off; -- I'm sorry to say but nothing else has avoids occasional pathological query plans
SELECT report text...;
rollback;

This may be because I backpatched to v13, which had one conflict (0a2bc5d61).
Maybe this is relevant, too: bab150045

If you could provide a patch for v13, it's a good bet there's no issue that I
didn't cause.

I'm able to reproduce the crash like this, with my patch to v13, but not your
patch on master.

python3 -c "import pg; db=pg.DB('dbname=postgres'); db.query('SET jit_above_cost=0; SET jit_inline_above_cost=0; SET jit=on; SET client_min_messages=debug'); db.query('begin'); db.query_formatted('SELECT 1 FROM generate_series(1,99)a WHERE a=%s', [1], inline=False);"
