There's a few ordering violations in the tests, e.g.:

https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=crake&dt=2019-10-04%2021%3A51%3A13

 key-a          val-a-s1-ups1-ups1
 step s1_c: COMMIT;
-s3: NOTICE:  upd: text key-a = text key-a: t
-s3: NOTICE:  upk: text val-a-s1-ups1-ups1 <> text mismatch: t
-s3: NOTICE:  trigger: name rep_b_u; when: BEFORE; lev: ROWs; op: UPDATE; old: (key-a,val-a-s1-ups1-ups1) new: (key-a,val-a-s1-ups1-ups1-ups3)
-s3: NOTICE:  trigger: name rep_a_u; when: AFTER; lev: ROWs; op: UPDATE; old: (key-a,val-a-s1-ups1-ups1) new: (key-a,val-a-s1-ups1-ups1-ups3)
-step s3_upd_a_data: <... completed>
+s2: NOTICE:  upd: text key-a = text key-a: t
+s2: NOTICE:  upk: text val-a-s1-ups1-ups1 <> text mismatch: t
+s2: NOTICE:  trigger: name rep_b_u; when: BEFORE; lev: ROWs; op: UPDATE; old: (key-a,val-a-s1-ups1-ups1) new: (key-a,val-a-s1-ups1-ups1-upserts2)
+s2: NOTICE:  trigger: name rep_a_u; when: AFTER; lev: ROWs; op: UPDATE; old: (key-a,val-a-s1-ups1-ups1) new: (key-a,val-a-s1-ups1-ups1-upserts2)
+step s2_upsert_a_data: <... completed>
 key            data           

I was under the assumption that it'd be deterministic who gets to
continue with a speculative insertion, but that ain't so.

Peter, do you see an easy way around that? Do you consider that a
problem? ISTM we ought to make this fair, but that doing so would
require a bit bigger changes that we'd want to make in the backbranches?

Unless somebody comes up with an idea, I'll disable (or rewrite) the
"three way" tests involving two waiters for one insertion.

Regards,

Andres
