Yeah, it's a bug. The code Heikki added in parse_expr.c isn't allowing
for the possibility of join alias Vars. (There's another problem with
it too, which is you can trivially circumvent the check, just by
creating an operator based on pg_get_expr ...)
I wasn't terribly happy with that approach to begin with. I think we
need to rethink.
