I'm not in favor of doing that.  It would risk papering over errors of
omission at other call sites.

The root cause is that the same code match_pattern_prefix() is being
used for text and bytea, but bytea does not use collations, so having
the collation 0 is expected, and we shouldn't call
get_collation_isdeterministic() in that case.

Proposed patch attached.
