Sorry, it is unclear for me why it does not fix anything.

In my understanding, the matter comes from the mixture of two kind of
tuples. The one has object identifier, and the other don't have.
It seems to me the current implementation assumes fetched tuples have
proper rowtype which matches to the current table definition, however,
the ALTER TABLE can break this assumption. It makes impossible to guess
ahead whether fetched tuples have its object identifier, or not.
Therefore, I thought we need something to enforce proper rowtype
prior to when a tuple is delivered to ExecInsert() as a new one.
The patch enforces ExecProject() when INSERT, UPDATE or SELECT INTO
cases, so it enables to deliver a tuple with proper rowtype.

In addition, what is the expected behavior in the following case?
I felt it a bit strange one, so reported.
========
  postgres=# CREATE TABLE t1 (a int, b text) WITH OIDS;
  CREATE TABLE
  postgres=# INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1,'aaa'), (2,'bbb'), (3,'ccc');
  INSERT 0 3
  postgres=# SELECT oid,* FROM t1;
    oid  | a |  b
  -------+---+-----
   16405 | 1 | aaa
   16406 | 2 | bbb
   16407 | 3 | ccc
  (3 rows)

  postgres=# INSERT INTO t1 (SELECT * FROM t1);
  INSERT 0 3
  postgres=# SELECT oid,* FROM t1;
    oid  | a |  b
  -------+---+-----
   16405 | 1 | aaa
   16406 | 2 | bbb
   16407 | 3 | ccc
   16405 | 1 | aaa  <--- newly inserted tuples preserve the object
   16406 | 2 | bbb       identifier of its source tuples, not a newly
   16407 | 3 | ccc       assigned one.
  (6 rows)
