-------------------------------------------------------
in ExecEvalJsonExpr, *op->resnull is true.
then in ExecEvalJsonExprCoercion *op->resnull is false.
I am not sure why *op->resnull value changes, when changes.
-------------------------------------------------------
in ExecEvalJsonExprCoercion, if resnull is true, then jb is null, but
it seems there is no code to handle the case.
-----------------------------
add the following code after ExecEvalJsonExprCoercion if
(!InputFunctionCallSafe(...) works, but seems like a hack.

if (!val_string)
{
*op->resnull = true;
*op->resvalue = (Datum) 0;
}
