Yes, that was just me being careless.  Fixed.

Interesting.  I was neglecting to test for empty index tuples in the
Consistent support function.  Should be fixed now, and I verified that
the other support functions check for this condition (AFAICS this was
the only straggler -- I had fixed all the others already).

Exactly.

After fixing that I noticed that there was an assertion (about
collations) failing under certain conditions with your script.  I also
fixed that.  I also added a test for regress.  I didn't have time to
distill a standalone test case for your crash, though.
