Hmm, next question: should we backpatch a fix for this?  (This applies
all the way back to 11.)  If we do, then we would change behavior of
partition creation.  It's hard to see that the current behavior is
desirable ... and I think anybody who would have come across this, would
wish it behaved the other way.  But still -- it would definitely be a
behavior change.

This is a judgement call, and mine says to backpatch, but I've been
wrong on that.
