I'm reasonably persuaded that there's a need for this, though IFEO (see below) can be used at or after install-time as a workaround. It looks like your patch sets the msbuild equivalent of the /DYNAMICBASE:NO flag (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb384887.aspx). Is this known to work (or be silently ignored) back to Windows SDK 7.1? (I'll test it today and see). I don't think we need to worry about Force ASLR (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2639308) as it seems it only applies when an application loads modules, unless an admin goes playing in the registry. Users facing this problem can work around it without code changes by setting IFEO in the registry to disable ASLR for postgres.exe.
