I think that's correct. Functions in FROM are essentially a shorthand
for ROWS FROM(). And ROWS FROM doesn't allow arbitrary expressions. It
works if you remove the CASE because then it's a valid ROWS FROM
content.
If, I didn't check, that worked previously, I think that was more
accident than intent.

This IMO shouldn't work either due to the CAST. But indeed it does.

That's right, because it's not in the targetlist.
