FWIW, I'm inclined to do something about Jeff's nearby complaint about
operator_precedence_warning, because the cause of that failure is pretty
obscure.  I'm less excited about this one, because it should be obvious
what happened to anyone who looks at the regression diffs.

In general I think there's value in "make installcheck" passing when
it reasonably can, but you're quite right that there's a lot of setting
changes that would break it, and not all are going to be practical to
fix.
