Sure, triage can wait, make the most out of the conference and thanks for
the fast replies!
I did update the test case to prove that all output comes from a single
call. I added a different constant to each SQL query - the bash loop
iteration number:

for i in `seq 1 10000`; do
  echo SELECT $i ",v.* FROM pg_logical_slot_get_changes('test2_slot', NULL,
NULL) v;"
done | psql --quiet --tuples-only | cat --squeeze-blank > out2
cat out2 | wc -l

You can see all output comes with the same SQL (in this case, statement
419).
      419 | 1/76344D18 | 450880 | BEGIN 450880
      419 | 1/76344D18 | 450880 | table public.test: INSERT: id[integer]:1
v[character varying]:'3'
      419 | 1/76344DE0 | 450880 | table public.test: INSERT: id[integer]:2
v[character varying]:'6'
...
      419 | 1/76BD9348 | 450880 | table public.test: INSERT:

      419 | 1/7713BF40 | 450880 | table public.test: INSERT:

      419 | 1/7713C028 | 450880 | COMMIT 450880
