+1, thanks to the both of you for helping with the patch. Attached is a v8 of
the patchset to make the cfbot happier, as the previous no longer applies.

In doing that I realized that there is another hunk in this patch for fixing up
logical decoding multi-insert support, which is independent of the patch in
question here so I split it off. It's another issue which cause no harm at all
today, but fails as soon as someone tries to perform multi inserts into the
catalog.

AFAICT, the current coding assumes that the multi-insert isn't from a catalog,
and makes little attempts at surviving in case it is. The attached patch fixes
that by taking a fast-path exit in case it is a catalog multi-insert, as there
is nothing to decode.
