I am almost done updating the patch, but I got stuck on how the feature
is supposed to work.  This documentation sentence is where I got
confused:

	<varlistentry>
	 <term><literal>check_partial_aggregate_support</literal> (<type>boolean</type>)</term>
	 <listitem>
	  <para>
	   If this option is false, <filename>postgres_fdw</filename> assumes
	   that for each built-in aggregate function,
	   the partial aggregate function is defined on the remote server
	   without checking the remote server version.
	   If this option is true, during query planning,
	   <filename>postgres_fdw</filename> connects to the remote server
	   and checks if the remote server version is older than the local server version.
	   If so,
	   <filename>postgres_fdw</filename>
-->	   assumes that for each built-in aggregate function, the partial aggregate function is not defined
-->	   on the remote server unless the partial aggregate function and the aggregate
-->	   function match.
	   Otherwise <filename>postgres_fdw</filename> assumes that for each built-in aggregate function,
	   the partial aggregate function is defined on the remote server.
	   The default is <literal>false</literal>.
	  </para>
	 </listitem>
	</varlistentry>

What does that marked sentence mean?  What is match?  Are one or both of
these remote?  It sounds like you are checking the local aggregate
against the remote partial aggregate, but I don't see any code that does
this in the patch.
