Right. I already did something about this, about an hour ago --- a

Sorry that I'm not monitoring pgsql-bugs.
It might be interesting that I found this bug back in July 2016 when I
was experimenting with my KNN-btree implementation, but I failed to report
it because I could reproduce it only manually by a calling in a loop
gistrescan() and gistgettuple().
