Thanks!

If that's the case (and is intended), then you'll need to remove the
'section_post_data' entry from the COMMENTS catch-all 'unlike' and move
that into the 'unlike' for each of the COMMENT tests which were
depending on the catch-all to handle that.
The other approach is to create a new catch-all which catches COMMENTs
that are not pub/sub and have the other COMMENT tests use that but have
a different catch-all for the pub/sub entries or just have all of the
tests covered by them. There are a few examples of this approach
already (off-hand, I think there's one related to blobs).

There are (or were?) some tests which explicitly use
'--include-subscription'. You can see how each test's pg_dump is run in
the hash at the top.
I thought we were changing that anyway though? To dump subscriptions by
default but to have them dumped in a 'not enabled' fashion? In fact, I
thought that had already happened, but I might be thinking of something
else.
Thanks!
