No, it would be inappropriate to add a '1' that wasn't specified.

My reasoning is that 'a':1 and 'a':6 are distinct bits of information,
hence their combination is 'a':1,6.  But 'a' doesn't give any more
information than 'a':6 so it should be dropped by the
duplicate-elimination code.  It's not clear to me whether that's
what Oleg and Teodor think, though.

Hm, just found a variant of the bug:

regression=# select 'a a:6'::tsvector;
 tsvector 
----------
 'a'
(1 row)

regression=# select 'a a:6'::tsvector;
                                 tsvector                                 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 'a':6,16255C,0,12C,8C,2640,0,512,0,312,12C,400C,0,312,0,1,0,0,8448C,21,6
(1 row)

This makes it look even more like a memory-corruption issue.
