Interesting, thanks. I think this should be dealt with just like
default ACLs: REASSIGN OWNED should just ignore the USER MAPPING
objects (because they aren't "owned" as such, but they go together with
the role itself), and they would be removed by DROP OWNED. So the
attached patch would fix it.
One could instead consider that this needs to be fixed by creating a
user mapping for the receiving user instead. But this seems way too
complicated: in particular, if such a user mapping already exists, we
would have to instead do nothing. I think that would run counter to the
current simplicity of REASSIGN OWNED.
This is not a for-commit patch; I need to verify what happens with FDWs
and foreign servers and such. FDWs and servers *are* owned, so fixing
those would require a different patch.
My current assumption is that the whole FDW machinery just didn't
account for REASSIGN OWNED at all.
Also, need to put some test cases somewhere.
