While working on this, I noticed that the existing postgres_fdw system
shows similar behavior, so I changed the subject.

IIUC, the reason for that is when the local query specifies "RETURNING
tableoid::regclass", the FDW has fmstate->has_returning=false while the
remote query executed at ModifyTable has "RETURNING NULL", as shown in
the above example; that would cause an abnormal exit in executing the
remote query in postgresExecForeignUpdate, since that the FDW would get
PGRES_TUPLES_OK as a result of the query while the FDW would think that
the right result to get should be PGRES_COMMAND_OK, from the flag
fmstate->has_returning=false.

Attached is a patch to fix that.

Best regards,
