I saw those but it wasn't clear to me when they would get applied or
whether they were hand-generated or derived from something else. So
I went and made a new regression test, because I think I comprehend
those. If you want to fold the opr_sanity regress test into one of
the sql files in include/catalog, go right ahead. (Or, maybe those
files should be pushed over to regression testing? I dunno.)

I would expect that on_ppath checks to see if the point is on (touches)
the path, whereas pt_contained_path checks to see if the point is within
the area enclosed by the path. But I haven't looked to see if that's
what the author of the code thought...
