Oh, on closer inspection I had that backwards: the EPQ plan tree would
normally contain only the child node(s) of the ModifyTable node, but
EvalPlanQualStart also duplicates all InitPlan or SubPlan node trees,
because it can't tell which of them might get used within the EPQ subtree.
So we get one extra ExecInitCteScan call, even though no actual access
to the tuplestore could happen.

So we can now characterize the problem case as "CTE is read within an
InitPlan or SubPlan, and the query as a whole encounters an EPQ recheck".
