Did you target 9.6 because that's where you want to upgrade to, or is this not
a problem on HEAD? If it's still a problem on HEAD you should probably submit
the patch against there. You probably also want to add it to the next commit
fest to make sure it's not forgotten about: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/33/

It's obviously not my call to make in any shape or form, but this doesn't
really seem to fall under what is generally backported into a stable release?
