Given that gharial is also failing on 9.6 (same set of commits) and
coypu fails (again same set) on 9.6
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=coypu&dt=2017-04-24%2018%3A20%3A33

I'm afraid it's more likely to be related.

gharial & coypu owners, any chance you could try starting postgres with
log_min_messages=debug5 on one of the affected machines?
