Yeah.
What I have done is create a quite small buildfarm module to run these
tests. See
<https://github.com/PGBuildFarm/client-code/commit/69c92f53bbe3748c13fa29aee0c39c8dd7210f1e>
It can be added to an existing buildfarm client installation and enabled
by adding TestDecoding to the list of modules in the buildfarm config
file. It will be included in the next release and enabled in that
release's sample config file.
See an example run at
<http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_stage_log.pl?nm=crake&dt=2014-03-27%2023%3A40%3A15&stg=test-decoding-check>.
Larger questions can wait, but this makes a start on the immediate issue.
