Yeah, you don't want to have the PK index and the partitioning logic
to not be in sync about the collation rules applied to the individual
rows.

I think it's kind of similar to the message you get when a GROUP BY
column's collation doesn't match the column appearing in the SELECT
list:

explain SELECT c collate case_insensitive, count(c) FROM
pagg_tab_case_s GROUP BY c collate "C";
ERROR:  column "pagg_tab_case_s.c" must appear in the GROUP BY clause
or be used in an aggregate function
LINE 1: explain SELECT c collate case_insensitive, count(c) FROM pag...

Perhaps it would be more helpful for the error message or hint or
detail to mention the actual discrepancy (collation mismatch) that's
causing the error.

There might be other instances of such an error and I am not sure it
would be worthwhile to find and fix them all.
