Well, no it wouldn't be, but nonetheless on closer study I think you're
right that this is a bug.  There is code in there that intends to make it
unnecessary to issue "ALTER EXTENSION DROP member" when an extension
update script drops a member object; it should be sufficient to just
drop the object.  It was failing to fire in this case because the drop
was indirect, but it should work anyway.

I've applied a patch for that.  Thanks for the report!
