I think that following example discussed in this thread before would also be solved with your patch, not v2_ignore_contradictory_where_clauses_at_partprune_step.patch.
postgres=# set constraint_exclusion to on;
postgres=# explain select * from test2_0_20 where id = 25;

Thanks for checking.
I'm attaching the latest patch.

Umm, even though this modification might be overhead, I think this problem
should be solved
without setting constraint_exclusion GUC. But I'm not sure.
