Turns out this is likely a bug elsewhere. After a couple fixes to the
extension SQL script, the only real difference in catalog contents
(compared to e.g. the built-in BRIN minmax inet opclass) is that the
built-in one has opckeytype set to 869 (i.e. inet), while the one
created from extension has it set to 0.
The opclasses for inet (OID 869) look like this:
test=# select oid, opcname, opcfamily, opcintype, opckeytype from
pg_opclass where opcintype = 869 order by oid;
oid | opcname | opcfamily | opcintype | opckeytype
-------+-----------------------+-----------+-----------+------------
10009 | cidr_ops | 1974 | 869 | 0
10010 | cidr_ops | 1975 | 869 | 0
10015 | inet_ops | 1974 | 869 | 0
10016 | inet_ops | 1975 | 869 | 0
10017 | inet_ops | 3550 | 869 | 0
10018 | inet_ops | 3794 | 869 | 0
10105 | inet_minmax_ops | 4075 | 869 | 869
10106 | inet_inclusion_ops | 4102 | 869 | 869
16451 | inet_bloom_ops | 16450 | 869 | 0
17398 | inet_minmax_multi_ops | 17397 | 869 | 0
(10 rows)
The only difference between the two minmax variants is the opckeytype,
and if I update it to 869 for inet_minmax_multi_ops, it starts working.
Likewise, if I set it to 0 for inet_minmax_ops, it breaks the same way.
Turns out, this is impossible to set from CREATE OPERATOR CLASS, because
opclasscmds.c does this:
/* Just drop the spec if same as column datatype */
if (storageoid == typeoid && false)
storageoid = InvalidOid;
but index.c looks only at opclassTup->opckeytype. The built-in opclasses
don't have this issue, because they put the data into the catalog
directly, without going through this code.
I don't know what's the right fix, but it seems like this patch has
nothing to do with it. If we want to move the opclasses into an
extension, we can comment out that one (cidr/inet) case for now.
