Yes, it means so :(

I have fixed the issue for now, and monitored the rest of the tree.

Another issue is that we have zero coverage for this area of the code
when creating a database from a template and copying over shared
dependencies:
https://coverage.postgresql.org/src/backend/catalog/pg_shdepend.c.gcov.html

It is easy enough to get an error on the new database with
pg_describe_object(). Your part about adding a shared dependency with
a table on a given role is simple enough, as well. While looking for
a place where to put such a test, 020_createdb.pl felt like a natural
place and we don't have any coverage for the case of TEMPLATE with
createdb. So I would like to suggest something like the attached for
HEAD.
