Actually, I think vcregress.pl is OK, this is a gap in the buildfarm
client's coverage that will be fixed when I make a new release. Any day
now I hope. See
<https://github.com/PGBuildFarm/client-code/commit/1fc4e81e831fda64d62937de242ecda0ba145901>

bowerbird which is already running that code is running the test you
refer to:
<https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_stage_log.pl?nm=bowerbird&dt=2019-09-08%2017%3A51%3A19&stg=test_misc-check>
