If you mean something like
regression=# explain select * from (values(1)) ss;
QUERY PLAN
-------------------------------------------------------------
Values Scan on "*VALUES*" (cost=0.00..0.01 rows=1 width=4)
(1 row)
I think the reason is that the alias applies to a SubqueryScan node that
later gets optimized away. The VALUES per se doesn't have an alias.
