Just an aside, your point about CONNECTION LIMIT was something that just didn't come to my mind and is probably a good way to test ALTER DATABASE with CONNECTION LIMIT.
Its just that that actually wasn't what I was testing there. That 'CONNECTION LIMIT' test was coupled with CREATE DATABASE because I wanted to test that 'branch' in the CREATE DATABASE function just to ensure that there was a regression test that tests CONNECTION LIMIT specifically with CREATE DATABASE. That's all. A check to confirm whether connection limit restrictions actually got enforced was something I missed, but well, its out of the window for now anyway.
I am generally a bit unsure whether the regression tests you propose aren't a bit too verbose. Does any of the committers have an opinion about this?
My feeling is that they are ok if they aren't slowing down things much.

You should be able to test that by setting the connection limit to 1 and then try to connect using \c. The old connection is only dropped after the new one has been successfully performed.
