Comment (by strk):

 I now pushed a branch in which we ALSO break the `geometry_out` function,
 so to have a confirmation of this bug. The bug is confirmed by:

  - Dronie: https://dronie.osgeo.org/postgis/postgis/2426/1/2
  - GitLab-CI: https://gitlab.com/postgis/postgis/-/jobs/1979025558#L15207

 GitLab actions are NOT testing upgrades, so won't catch this.
 Debbie and friends I'm not sure they kick for non standard branchs
 (Regina?)

 What I think we could test in that branch is if rewriting the
 _postgis_drop_if_needed function can help (we'd basically need a way to
 find argument names without evaluating default values, although we MIGHT
 want to change default values in the future ?).

 In general, it would probably be more robust if the defaults would always
 be NULL, although I do understand that means removing the STRICT and
 handling it at the library level...
