That's been overlooked. I agree it's not a bug with heap, since
heapam_finish_bulk_insert() only does anything there when we're
skipping WAL, which we don't do in copy.c for partitioned tables.
However, who knows what other AMs will need, so we'd better fix that.
My proposed patch is attached.
I ended up moving the call to CopyMultiInsertInfoCleanup() down to
after we call table_finish_bulk_insert for the main table. This might
not be required but I lack imagination right now to what AMs might put
in the finish_bulk_insert call, so doing this seems safer.
