I've fixed this for 6.0.2, see https://github.com/npgsql/efcore.pg/issues/2160.

It would be better if you didn't cross-post the same question on both github and stackoverflow - it mainly creates more work answering in both places. If something looks like an Npgsql bug, and issue should be enough, otherwise stackoverflow is good for usage questions etc.
