Yeah, perhaps. But we have received a report from 1 person and I think
it seems strange to adopt a policy that we require multiple bug
reports for the same issue before we consider fixing.

FWIW, just to demonstrate what a fix could look like, I've attached a
patch. I'm not planning to commit it if you really think we shouldn't
be fixing it.

The patch also does nothing for the weirdness that I described in the
DISTINCT ON case earlier in this thread.
