I'm pretty sure that's not the droid we're looking for.
ExecHashJoinGetSavedTuple does palloc a new tuple, but it immediately
sticks it into a TupleTableSlot that will be responsible for freeing
it (when the next tuple is stuck into the same slot). I'd suggest
continuing a few times and looking for other code paths leading
to AllocSetAlloc in this context.
My first thought on noticing the SELECT DISTINCT was that you might be
hitting the grouping-function-related leak that Andres fixed in 9cf37a527;
but that fix did make it into 11.2 (by just a couple of days...). Still,
maybe there's another issue in the same area.
