BUG #13336: Unexpected result from invalid query

The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference: 13336
Logged by: Christian Ullrich
Email address: chris(at)chrullrich(dot)net
PostgreSQL version: 9.4.2
Operating system: Windows 8.1
Description:

An invalid column name in a subquery will be silently resolved against the
main query's table:

postgres=# create table test_table (foo varchar(10), bar integer);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# insert into test_table values ('one', 1);
INSERT 0 1
postgres=# insert into test_table values ('two', 2);
INSERT 0 1
postgres=# create table test_table2 (baz varchar(10));
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# insert into test_table2 values ('gromp');
INSERT 0 1

-- Note: No column "foo" in test_table2
postgres=# select * from test_table where foo in (select foo from
test_table2);
foo | bar
-----+-----
one | 1
two | 2

I actually noticed this when querying "select * from
pg_available_extension_versions where name in (select name from
pg_extension)", which returns the whole contents of the
pg_available_extension_versions view although I got the column name in
pg_extension wrong.
