Presumably the instrumentation data needed for that is not getting
returned from the worker to the leader. I would bet there's a lot
of other plan-node-specific data that doesn't work either.

That seems rather ridiculous. An oversight in managing EXPLAIN data
is not a sufficient reason to cripple parallel query.
