I think this is a timing problem that's triggered (on some machines)
by force_parallel_mode = regress.  Looking at spurfowl's latest
failure of this type, the postmaster log shows

We can see that the division by zero occurred in a parallel worker.
My theory is that in parallel mode, it's uncertain whether the
error will be reported before or after the "preceding" successful
output rows.  So you need to disable parallelism to make this
test case stable.
