Initial results aren't that great.  komodoensis[1], petalura[2],
and snapper[3] have all shown variants of

#   Failed test 'partitions with different replica identities not replicated correctly'
#   at t/031_column_list.pl line 734.
#          got: '2|4|
# 4|9|'
#     expected: '1||5
# 2|4|
# 3||8
# 4|9|'
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 34.
[18:19:36] t/031_column_list.pl ............... 
Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
Failed 1/34 subtests 

snapper reported different actual output than the other two:
#          got: '1||5
# 3||8'

The failure seems intermittent, as both komodoensis and petalura
have also passed cleanly since the commit (snapper's only run once).

This smells like an uninitialized-variable problem, but I've had
no luck finding any problem under valgrind.  Not sure how to progress
from here.
