My expectation of this feature is that the tablespace choice would
work the same as what was done in ca4103025 to make it inherit from
the partition table's tablespace. I imagine we might get complaints if
it does not follow the same logic.

I've not looked at your patch, but if the behaviour is as you describe
and the patch changes that to follow ca4103025, then +1 from me.
