Close, but not quite. always_store_advice_details is set for the
even-numbered tests, so it's the same for pt2 and pt4. But
pg_plan_advice.advice is empty for the the first half of the file and
set for the second half of the file, so it's empty when pt2 is
prepared and contains SEQ_SCAN(ptab) when pt4 is prepared. That
accounts for the difference. avocet is actually doing the right thing,
and the rest of the buildfarm is doing the wrong thing for lack of
replanning.
