I've pushed the simple fix - I've actually simplified it a bit further by
simply not calling the BuildRelationExtStatistics() at all when inh=true,
instead of passing the flag to BuildRelationExtStatistics() and making the
decision there. The function is part of public API, so this would be an
ABI break (although it's unlikely anyone else is calling the function).
