I'm not volunteering to look into this without a reproducer.
However, seeing that EvalPlanQual is in the stack trace,
my gut feeling is that the EPQ mechanism is somehow mis-managing
output Params for InitPlans. I vaguely recall some definitional
issues around whether it'd be okay to pass down already-computed
InitPlan results into the EPQ sub-evaluation, or whether we should
force the sub-evaluation to do those afresh. It was awhile back
and I don't remember what was decided.
Don't suppose you can try to reproduce this on something newer
than 14.17?
