The issue was introduced in v18 dev cycle, so it's never been a
problem in any production build of Postgres. I could get more on board
with an argument for noting these down if it were some long-standing
well known issue that had been around for several years which we
debated how to fix, and finally did. This isn't that, so IMO, noting
down the bug number is pretty pointless.
