When I applied v1 it didn't pass.

But applying v2j-0003, the test passes.

I don't think I understand the patch fully. But I have a comment.

It feels like we can simplify this as: REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW
replaces storage and resets the stats hence the Matview stats should
be printed after printing REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW command in
SECTION_POST_DATA. Also the materialized view ... . Hence the section
may be updated later for materialized views.
