OK, here is a new version.
The major change is that the aggregate final functions now clone the
transition value rather than modifying it directly, avoiding a similar
nearby error which Tom fixed recently.
Also here is a patch factored out which applies the
find_coercion_pathway change to json.c. I'm inclined to say we should
backpatch this to 9.4 (and with a small change 9.3). Thoughts?
