You're absolutely right.  Fixed in the attached version.

I also include two requisite fixes for missing CCI calls in existing
code: one is in StorePartitionBounds which I think is backpatchable to
pg10 (this is the one that was causing me to add the one Peter
complained about in [1]), and the others are in the partition indexing
code.  In terms of the current tests, the first one is necessary in
order for things to work after this patch; the ones in the second patch
I only added after code review in order to understand where the first
one was.  (In that second patch I also remove one which now seems
unnecessary and in hindsight was probably there because I was lacking
the others.)

Patch 0003 is the feature at hand.  Compared to v3, this version adds
some recursing logic during ENABLE/DISABLE TRIGGER, so the test that was
previously failing now works correctly.

I kept the test on "irregular" partitioning from v5, too; it works here
without any further changes.

One thing I'd like to add before claiming this committable (backend-
side) is enabling constraint triggers.  AFAICT that requires a bit of
additional logic, but it shouldn't be too terrible.  This would allow
for deferrable unique constraints, for example.
