Thanks for the test case. The bug seems to be introduced by the code
I added a couple months ago to eliminate unnecessary SubqueryScan plan
nodes: the Limit node ends up with a targetlist different from its
immediate input node, which is wrong because Limit doesn't do any
projection, only pass on its input tuples (or not). There are probably
related cases involving Sort nodes (ORDER BY on a sub-select) and other
plan nodes that don't do projection. Haven't decided on an appropriate
fix yet --- seems we have to either prevent the SubqueryScan from being
removed in this context, or fix the tlist of the parent node. Don't
know which will be less messy.
