I've pushed (and backpatched to 13+) the fix for the publish_as_relid
issue, including the test. I tweaked the test a bit, to check both
orderings of the publication list.

While doing that, I discovered yet ANOTHER bug in the publish_as_relid
loop, affecting 12+13. There was a break once all actions were
replicated, but skipping additional publications ignores the fact that
the publications may replicate a different (higher-up) ancestor.

I removed the break, if anyone thinks this optimization is worth it we
could still do that once we replicate the top-most ancestor.


I'll push the second fix soon.
