Yes, thanks for the report, Vojtěch, and for bisecting to find the
breaking commit, Tom.
It looks like the problem is in ExecEvalPreOrderedDistinctMulti(). It
overwrites the tmpcontext's slots but fails to properly restore the
originals again.
The Aggref->presorted == false version of this,
(process_ordered_aggregate_multi()) seems to use the
aggstate->tmpcontext for the same job, so I imagine I must have just
copied that, but just forgot to restore the old slots. It might be
nicer to have a dedicated ExprContext for this, but we've nowhere to
store that in the backbranches as we can't add a new field to that
struct. Maybe something like the attached is ok as a fix.
