Hm, seems like the problem is that that lower HashAggregate is estimated
as having only one row out, which is way off and doesn't sound like a
particularly bright default estimate anyway. (And then we're doing an
additional HashAggregate on top of that, which is useless --- implies
that something isn't realizing that the output of the SELECT DISTINCT
is already distinct.)

I'm suspicious that this is breakage from the work that was done on
targetlist SRFs in v10, but that's just a guess at this point.

Trying simple test queries involving WHERE x IN (SELECT DISTINCT
unnest(foo) FROM ...), I do not see a behavior like this, so there is some
not-very-obvious contributing factor in your situation. Can you put
together a self-contained test case that produces a bogus one-row
estimate? Extra points if it produces duplicate HashAgg steps.
