I debated that with myself before pushing. I thought the risk of
introducing a new bug or problem was pretty low; whereas the bug was
clearly already affecting real-world users in their attempts to migrate
to 18 from earlier versions, so the damage was real.

Hmm, what? The only response from you that I see in this thread is
https://postgr.es/m/aYp9tTWjUqS1ffAd@paquier.xyz
which was on Feb 10th, which is before the 18.2 release, so you couldn't
have been considering the 18.3 release yet.
