Ouch.  I had not even thought that far.

FYI, yes, the default tsearch GUC controls operations per row _if_ you
have triggers or expression indexes that rely on the default
configuration GUC.  If you have specified the configuration, there is no
problem, and hence my conclusion that the default GUC is too
error-prone.
