I was dealing with this today and found this thread. I spent some time
looking at possible solutions.

In the flow of extended query protocol, the exec_parse_message
reports the queryId, but subsequent calls to exec_bind_message
and exec_execute_message reset the queryId when calling
pgstat_report_activity(STATE_RUNNING,..) as you can see below.

/*
* If a new query is started, we reset the query identifier as it'll only
* be known after parse analysis, to avoid reporting last query's
* identifier.
*/
if (state == STATE_RUNNING)
beentry->st_query_id = UINT64CONST(0);

So, I think the simple answer is something like the below.
Inside exec_bind_message and exec_execute_message,
the query_id should be reported after pg_report_activity.

thoughts?
