Meh.  Somebody was cavalier about detoasting the subscript:

            jbvp = getKeyJsonValueFromContainer(container,
                                                VARDATA(path[i]),
                                                VARSIZE(path[i]) - VARHDRSZ,
                                                NULL);

Neither VARDATA nor VARSIZE are valid to apply to an arbitrary datum.
Apparently, nobody has ever tested this with a subscript value fetched
straight from disk :-(.  The given example accidentally works with
a NOT MATERIALIZED CTE because the whole thing gets stepwise folded
to constants.  Likewise, the expression with || accidentally works
because concatenation always yields a non-toasted result.
