But a failing Assert obviously proofs something. Stupid me. So here we
go:
diff --git a/src/backend/commands/trigger.c b/src/backend/commands/trigger.c

ERROR: too low local pin count: 1

A plain DELETE without the subselect doesn't trigger the problem though,
thats probably the reason we haven't seen any problems so far.
