That causes problems for parallel workers.  The stack looks like this:

    frame #3: 0x00000001007772d9
postgres`errfinish(dummy=<unavailable>) at elog.c:552:3 [opt]

    frame #9: 0x00000001007990ce

    frame #10: 0x0000000100382e9b

parallel.c:1360:2 [opt]

Why is the empty string acceptable to the master but not with
RestoreGUCState() in a parallel worker?
