Interesting. AFAICS, the new behavior is correct and the old is wrong. SET STORAGE PLAIN is supposed to disable use of TOAST features, including short varlena headers. So now that's being honored by the UPDATE, but before it was not. I have no idea exactly why that changed though --- I'd expect that to be implemented in low-level tuple-construction logic that the planner rewrite wouldn't have changed. regards, tom lane
