The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference: 15777
Logged by: Danil Mihailov
Email address: svfront(at)mail(dot)ru
PostgreSQL version: 11.2
Operating system: Debian 9.8
Description:

uname -a
Linux bnode-test 4.9.0-8-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.144-3.1 (2019-02-19) x86_64
GNU/Linux

Test stand:
CREATE TABLE public.test_dummy
(
a integer[],
b integer[]
);

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW public.test_dummy_view AS
SELECT unnest(test_dummy.a) AS id,
'a'::text AS c
FROM test_dummy
WHERE test_dummy.a IS NOT NULL
UNION
SELECT unnest(test_dummy.b) AS id,
'b'::text AS c
FROM test_dummy
WHERE test_dummy.b IS NOT NULL;

INSERT INTO test_dummy(a, b)
VALUES
(ARRAY[1,2], null),
(null, ARRAY[3,4]);

Test case:
SELECT id, c FROM test_dummy_view; -- works fine
SELECT id, c FROM test_dummy_view WHERE c = 'a'; -- error

Verbose log message:

функция, возвращающая множество, вызвана в контексте, где ему нет места
2019-04-24 15:59:42.143 MSK [112107] danila(at)inetstat ПОЛОЖЕНИЕ:
ExecInitFunc, execExpr.c:2212
2019-04-24 15:59:42.143 MSK [112107] danila(at)inetstat ОПЕРАТОР: SELECT id, c
FROM test_dummy_view WHERE c = 'a';
Translation:
set-valued function called in context that cannot accept a set

But:
WITH foo AS (
SELECT unnest(a) AS id, 'a' AS c
FROM test_dummy WHERE a IS NOT NULL
UNION
SELECT unnest(b) AS id, 'b' AS c
FROM test_dummy WHERE b IS NOT NULL
)
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE c = 'a'; -- works fine
Also workaround with LATERAL in view works too;
In Postgres 9.6 all queries work as expected.
