You'd have to ask the Ppgsql authors exactly how they transmit that
to the server; but a plausible guess is that it's using what we
refer to as a pipeline, that is a series of commands transmitted
without waiting for the result of earlier commands.

It is intended that we disallow CREATE DATABASE within a pipeline,
and has been since 13.8 et al; but we fixed some bugs in that
prohibition in 13.10. Looking at the release-note entry about it,
that only mentions ANALYZE, which is probably my own oversight.
The motivation was to prevent semantic anomalies if one command
in the pipeline fails --- previously, you might end up with a
surprising subset of the commands having gotten committed.
