Hmm ... interestingly, if I run this in HEAD's regression database,
I get

constrained table | constraint | references
-------------------+---------------+-------------
clstr_tst | clstr_tst_con | clstr_tst_s
(1 row)

Digging a bit deeper, the sub-select for conparentid finds no rows,
but the sub-select on pg_inherits finds

regression=# SELECT inhrelid::regclass, inhparent::regclass, inhseqno,inhdetachpending from pg_inherits WHERE inhparent = 'clstr_tst'::regclass or inhparent = 'clstr_tst_s'::regclass;
inhrelid | inhparent | inhseqno | inhdetachpending
---------------+-----------+----------+------------------
clstr_tst_inh | clstr_tst | 1 | f
(1 row)

So it looks like this query needs a guard to make it ignore
constraints on traditional-inheritance tables.
