Thanks for the report (and patch)!

The same issue has already been noticed in [1]. I too think the cause
of the issue would be in the 0003 patch (ie, “the queueing stuff “ in
postgres_fdw), but I’m not sure it is really a good idea to have that
in postgres_fdw in the first place, because it would impact
performance negatively in some cases (see [1]).
