I do not think this is a bug at all. The behavior is, and always has
been, that we report stats when we are about to wait for client input
and are not inside a transaction. Likewise for NOTIFY. The proposed
patch randomly changes that in a way that is very likely to break
clients.
Maybe you can persuade me that there's a reason to move the responsibility
for stats reporting to some other place, but please keep your hands
OFF of NOTIFY. You clearly haven't the faintest idea what the client
contract for that is.
