Handling of assigned-to expressions with indirection (e.g. set f1[1] = 3) was broken for ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE. The problem was that ParseState was consulted to determine if an INSERT-appropriate or UPDATE-appropriate behavior should be used when transforming expressions with indirections. When the wrong path was taken the old row was substituted with NULL, leading to wrong results.. To fix remove p_is_update and only use p_is_insert to decide how to transform the assignment expression, and uset p_is_insert while parsing the on conflict statement. This isn't particularly pretty, but it's not any worse than before.
