Hmm ... I cannot reproduce the behavior you're complaining of.
You say

but I get
regression=# select ts_rank_cd(to_tsvector('english', 'abc sdd'),
regression(# plainto_tsquery('english', 'abc'));
ts_rank_cd
------------
0.1
(1 row)

As far as I can tell, there is no "0th position" --- tsvector counts
positions from one. The only way to see pos == 0 in the input to
Cover() is if the tsvector has been stripped of position information.
ts_rank_cd is documented to return 0 in that situation. Your patch
would have the effect of causing it to return some nonzero, but quite
bogus, ranking.
