Well, wherever it's stored, it's a demonstrable fact that we're not
getting the same rows after ExecutorRewind(); and that we do get the
same rows out if we disable synchronize_seqscans in Mark's test case.
I haven't got round to identifying exactly what to change if we decide
to go for a narrow fix instead of storing the query results at a higher
level.
