Hm - I'm still able to recreate the test the user's running using
pg_dump/pg_restore. I'm still working to see if I can minimize the
test-case, but this is against 9.2.2. Would you prefer I test against HEAD?
regression=# create table z1 (f1 int);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# prepare sz1 as select * from z1;
PREPARE
regression=# insert into z1 values (1);
INSERT 0 1
regression=# execute sz1;
f1
