ahh, good repro. It's worse for a pass-by-reference column, i.e. TEXT.
find_target_tuple() only sets sk_argument, never SK_ISNULL, so the
comparison function gets a NULL pointer rather than a NULL key.
So a non assert build will actually segfault.
v3 uses a TEXT column in the identity index, which covers the int case
too since both go through the same sk_argument.
