Hm, yeah, somebody was sloppy about exposing the three-argument
form of varbit substring and using -1 to represent the two-argument
form.
What we can do in the back branches is make the code treat any
negative value as meaning two-arg form. To throw an error we'd
need to refactor the pg_proc representation ...
