Hmm. Couldn't these code paths be reached as well with the object
functions like pg_describe_object(), pg_get_object_address(),
pg_identify_object_as_address() or pg_identify_object()? Object
descriptions usually stick within object_address.sql. The new objects
you would want to stick should be covered as well in this test suite,
and the file already has some property graphs in it.

Event triggers are avoided in parallel groups because they are not
reliable (see also fast_default), and we should avoid what you are
doing in this test.

This should be an open item, I guess, yes. Could you add one? Even
if Peter discards the issue at the end, the issue still needs to be
discussed so we had better to track it anyway.
