Consider this example:
SELECT * FROM a,b WHERE a.id = b.id AND (a.id) IN (SELECT c.id FROM c)
the possible execution trees are {{a,b}, {c}}, {{a,c},{b}} and the code 
seems to also permit {{b,c},{a}}.
    

No, it does not --- as you say, that would give wrong answers.  That
case is eliminated by the tests following this comment:

             * JOIN_IN technique will work if outerrel includes LHS and
             * innerrel is exactly RHS; conversely JOIN_REVERSE_IN handles
             * RHS/LHS.
             *
             * JOIN_UNIQUE_OUTER will work if outerrel is exactly RHS;
             * conversely JOIN_UNIQUE_INNER will work if innerrel is
             * exactly RHS.

Joining {b,c} to {a} does not meet any of those four allowed cases.
  
Exactly my point... So why ever bother creating the {b,c} node which is legal by the above definition?
