I see from the coverage report that *none* of the did-not-find-tuple
code paths in worker.c are exercised. This does not seem OK. I agree
that probably the only way to have a test case is to kick up the debug
level to DEBUG1 and grep the log to confirm that the message is there.
IIRC, we already have infrastructure for grepping the log, so this
shouldn't be that hard. Will work on it today.
(Meanwhile, thanks for the diagnosis and patch!)
