FWIW, this reproduces the bug for me in v13 and v14, but not v15 or HEAD. While the method to fix the bug seems clear enough, it doesn't seem like we have a test case that's stable enough to be worth anything as a regression test. Hmmm...
I'm reproducing this bug in HEAD with the repro given by Martijn, but with some additional GUC sets:
set enable_hashjoin to off; set enable_mergejoin to off; set enable_indexscan to off; set enable_bitmapscan to off;
When building access paths for base rel 'results', we would generate Gather Merge on top of its partial path. The key point to reproduce this bug is how to make this Gather Merge path win in the final plan.
Another way to reproduce this bug in HEAD is to manually hack the cost of this Gather Merge path to zero with gdb, so that this bug can be reproduced even with hashjoin.
