I could reproduce this error with simple query like:
SELECT * FROM information_schema.role_usage_grants WHERE object_type
LIKE 'FOREIGN%' AND object_name IN ('s6', 'foo') ORDER BY 1, 2, 3, 4,
5;

The reason is that the stored rules have the old structure of Param. See below:
{RELABELTYPE :arg {PARAM :paramkind 2 :paramid 1 :paramtype 11975
:paramtypmod -1 :paramcollid 100 :location -1}

The new variable parallel_safe is not present in above node. If you
recreate the fresh database you won't see the above problem. I have
observed a problem in equal function which I have fixed in the
attached patch. I have also added a test, so that we can catch any
problem similar to what you have reported.

I think what we need is catversion bump as Param is part of stored rules.
