Actually, I rather imagine it comes from this choice in catcache.c:

        /* Currently, there are no catcaches on collation-aware data types */
        cache->cc_skey[i].sk_collation = InvalidOid;

I'd be more worried about that if I thought it made any sense to use
a pg_node_tree column as an index key, but I don't ...
