Yeah, that's bugged me too. I suspect that the triggering factor is
use of a typedef name within the assigned expression, but I've not
tried to run it to ground.

Yeah :-(. That's enough of a rat's nest that I've not really wanted to.
But I'd support applying such a fix if someone can figure it out.

What reindent-all-branches pain? We haven't done an all-branches
reindent in the past, even for pgindent fixes that touched far more
code than this would (assuming that the proposed fix doesn't have
other side-effects).
