This hasn't been fixed yet.  It's easy to to, but taking a step back,

- Is there any reason an immutable function (that is not lying about it)
should be anything but parallel safe?

- If so, could CREATE FUNCTION default it that way?

- Maybe add a check to opr_sanity to make sure the default set of
functions is configured the way we want?
