Absolutley not. (a) My where clause is a primary key (b) I have
checked it manually, it only returns one row

Yes, well PostgreSQL is being incredibly unhelpful in that respect, it
says "(SQLSTATE: 42702 - SQLERRM: column reference "session_id" is
ambiguous)" ... but that is an utter lie. There is only one column
called session_id in my view (in both the view output and the
underlying view query, there is only one reference to "session_id")
