It turns out I must have been mistaken somewhere.  I probably missed 
bugfix_in_schema_sent.patch)

I have just now rebuilt all the instances on top of master with these 
patches:

> [bugfix_in_schema_sent.patch]

    (by the way: this build's regression tests  'ddl', 'toast', and 
'spill' fail)

I seem now able to run all my test programs on these instances without 
errors.

Sorry, I seem to have raised a false alarm (although there was initially 
certainly a problem).
