That's intentional - see the discussion above:
"""
[...]
This code checks if the remaining bits of the input data are all zero.
IIUC we don't have a similar check for base64 and base64url. For
instance, the following input data is accepted:
=# select decode('AB', 'base64');
decode
--------
\x00
(1 row)
"""
Also see the documentation in respect of padding.
