Thank you for this extensive testing. I will work on getting the bugs
fixed. Just a couple of comments on some of your points:

I do not see that. You can you show the diffs?

SET and ADD are two different things. The SET command just changes the
parameters of the underlying sequence. This can be implemented later
and doesn't seem so important now. The ADD command is not in the
standard, but I needed it for pg_dump, mainly. I will need to document
this.

These behaviors are per SQL standard.
