Ah, after further study I found where this issue is handled for
joinrels. I think you're probably right that it'd be a good idea
to include rel->consider_parallel when setting parallel_safe in
upper paths. In the short term that will have the effect of
marking all upper paths as parallel-unsafe, but that's at least a
safe default that we can improve later.
