appendstate-> as_result_relation_info_list = NIL;

That doesn't look like a problem to me --- the result relations *have*
been closed, just above this line.

Comparing nodeAppend to EndPlan(), I think you are right --- each
resultinfo should have ExecCloseIndices applied too, in the loop just
above the line you quote. This did not use to be a problem because
Append plans were readonly, but now that we have UPDATE/DELETE on
inheritance hierarchies, there's a missing step here. Was your test
query of that kind?
