I've managed to reproduce the failure locally when running postgres_fdw_x/
regress in parallel (--num-processes 10). It reproduced for me on
on 04a09ee94 (iterations 1, 2, 4), but not on 04a09ee94~1 (30 iterations
passed).

I'm going to investigate this case within days. Maybe we could find a
better fix for the issue.

Best regards,
Alexander
