Nice find! Your explanation makes total sense. Attached a patchset
that fixes/works around this issue by using the simple query protocol
in the cancel test.

Commits

  1. postgres_fdw: re-issue cancel requests a few times if necessary.

  2. Make postgres_fdw's query_cancel test less flaky.

  3. postgres_fdw: Split out the query_cancel test to its own file

  4. Fix copy-paste mistake in PQcancelCreate

  5. Make libpqsrv_cancel's return const char *, not char *

  6. Stabilize postgres_fdw test

  7. libpq-be-fe-helpers.h: wrap new cancel APIs

  8. dblink/isolationtester/fe_utils: Use new cancel API

  9. Put libpq_pipeline cancel test back

  10. Hopefully make libpq_pipeline's new cancel test more reliable

  11. libpq: Add encrypted and non-blocking query cancellation routines

  12. libpq: Move pg_cancel to fe-cancel.c

  13. Add tests for libpq query cancellation APIs

  14. Add missing connection statuses to docs

  15. libpq: Change some static functions to extern

  16. libpq: Add pqReleaseConnHosts function

  17. libpq: Move cancellation related functions to fe-cancel.c

  18. Make spelling of cancelled/cancellation consistent

  19. Be more wary about OpenSSL not setting errno on error.

  20. libpq: Use modern socket flags, if available.

  21. Drop test view when done with it.

  22. Doc: add some doco about using the libpq_pipeline test module.

  23. postgres_fdw: Allow cancellation of transaction control commands.
