I don't like some of the error message changes in this new version. For example:

v75:
+CREATE FUNCTION testpub_rf_func1(integer, integer) RETURNS boolean AS
$$ SELECT hashint4($1) > $2 $$ LANGUAGE SQL;
+CREATE OPERATOR =#> (PROCEDURE = testpub_rf_func1, LEFTARG = integer,
RIGHTARG = integer);
+CREATE PUBLICATION testpub6 FOR TABLE testpub_rf_tbl3 WHERE (e =#> 27);
+ERROR:  invalid publication WHERE expression for relation "testpub_rf_tbl3"
+DETAIL:  User-defined operators are not allowed.

v77
+CREATE FUNCTION testpub_rf_func1(integer, integer) RETURNS boolean AS
$$ SELECT hashint4($1) > $2 $$ LANGUAGE SQL;
+CREATE OPERATOR =#> (PROCEDURE = testpub_rf_func1, LEFTARG = integer,
RIGHTARG = integer);
+CREATE PUBLICATION testpub6 FOR TABLE testpub_rf_tbl3 WHERE (e =#> 27);
+ERROR:  invalid publication WHERE expression
+LINE 1: ...ICATION testpub6 FOR TABLE testpub_rf_tbl3 WHERE (e =#> 27);
+                                                             ^
+DETAIL:  User-defined or mutable functions are not allowed

I think the detailed message by v75 "DETAIL:  User-defined operators
are not allowed." will be easier for users to understand. I have made
some code changes and refactoring to make this behavior like previous
without removing the additional checks you have added in v77. I have
made a few changes to comments and error messages. Attached is a
top-up patch on your v77 patch series. I suggest we can combine the
0001 and 0002 patches as well.
