I implemented that (But my own preference would still be for an *undocumented*
function which returns whatever flags we find to be useful to include. Or
alternately, a documented function which exposes every flag).

Maybe you misunderstood - I'm not reading the file specified by
current_setting('config_file'). Rather, I'm reading
tmp_check/data/postgresql.conf, which is copied from the sample conf.
Do you see an issue with that ?
The regression tests are only intended run from a postgres source dir, and if
someone runs the from somewhere else, and they "fail", I think that's because
they violated their assumption, not because of a problem with the test.
I wondered if it should chomp off anything added by pg_regress --temp-regress.
However that's either going to be a valid guc (or else it would fail some other
test). Or an extention's guc (which this isn't testing), which has a dot, and
which this regex doesn't match, so doesn't cause false positives.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] check_guc: fix absurd number of false positives
Avoid false positives;
Avoid various assumptions;
Avoid list of exceptions;
Simplify shell/awk/sed/grep;
This requires GNU awk for RS as a regex.
