May I ask you about the project policy regarding such test modules
failures?

Do you think all of these should be fixed or it's ok to have some
server-crashing modules in the tree?

I'm asking because I collected a number of such defects but didn't dare to
report them yet.

For example:
echo "CREATE EXTENSION test_shm_mq;
SELECT test_shm_mq_pipelined(64, '', 1, 0);
" > src/test/modules/test_shm_mq/sql/test_shm_mq.sql

make -s check -C src/test/modules/test_shm_mq/
leads to:
1087            Assert(handle->slot < max_worker_processes);
(gdb) bt
#0  GetBackgroundWorkerPid (handle=0x7f7f7f7f00000000, ...) at bgworker.c:1087
#1  0x000055cab243b2a6 in shm_mq_counterparty_gone (...) at shm_mq.c:1193
...

Best regards,
Alexander
