I'm pretty clueless in this area, but I think this might have to do with
the "lax mode" described in 9.16.2.1:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/functions-json.html#FUNCTIONS-SQLJSON-PATH

regression=# SELECT jsonb_path_query(jsonb '[{"a":10, "b": 20}, {"a": 30,
regression'# "b":100}]', '$.**.a');
 jsonb_path_query 
------------------
 10
 30
 10
 30
(4 rows)

regression=# SELECT jsonb_path_query(jsonb '[{"a":10, "b": 20}, {"a": 30,
"b":100}]', 'strict $.**.a');
 jsonb_path_query 
------------------
 10
 30
(2 rows)

Maybe these SQL-standard syntaxes ought to default to strict mode?
