Note that while crashing is certainly not good, the pre-9.6 behavior
can hardly be called correct either. What happened to 'a'?
Also, it looks like this is specific to to_tsquery; if you just feed
the same thing to tsqueryin, it seems fine with it:
# select '!(a & !b) & c'::tsquery;
tsquery
-----------------------
!( 'a' & !'b' ) & 'c'
(1 row)
