This type of failure is similar to what has been fixed in c757a3da,
where an authentication failure combined with psql pushing a command
down its communication pipe causes a test failure.  This routine is
designed to fail, so sending a query has little sense anyway.

Per buildfarm members gaur and hoverfly, based on an analysis and fix
from Tom Lane.
