After dropping the rule - Not able to insert / server crash (one time ONLY)

Hi,

While testing something , I found that even after rule has dropped  not
able to insert data  and in an another scenario , there is a Crash/

Please refer this scenario's -

1) Rows not inserted after dropping the RULE

postgres=# create table e(n int);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# create rule e1 as on insert to e do instead nothing;
CREATE RULE
postgres=# create function e11(n int) returns int as $$ begin insert
into e values(10); return 1; end; $$ language 'plpgsql';
CREATE FUNCTION
postgres=# select e11(1);
 e11
-----
   1
(1 row)

postgres=# select e11(1);
 e11
-----
   1
(1 row)

postgres=# select * from e;  => Expected , due to  the RULE enforced
 n
---
(0 rows)

postgres=# drop rule e1 on e;  ==>Drop the rule
DROP RULE

postgres=# select e11(1);  =>again try to insert into table
 e11
-----
   1
(1 row)

postgres=# select * from e;  =>This time , value should be inserted but
still showing 0 row.
 n
---
(0 rows)

2)Server crash (one time)

postgres=# create table en(n int);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# create function en1(n int) returns int as $$ begin insert
into en values(10); return 1; end; $$ language 'plpgsql';
CREATE FUNCTION
postgres=#
postgres=# select en1(1);
 en1
-----
   1
(1 row)

postgres=# select * from en;
 n
----
 10
(1 row)

postgres=# create rule en11 as on insert to en do instead nothing;
CREATE RULE
postgres=# select en1(1);
ostgres=# select en1(1);

!> 2017-12-11 10:05:57.849 GMT [18493] LOG:  all server processes

again try to connect and fire this same query -

postgres=# select en1(1);  =>This time no crash but again rows not inserted
 en1
-----
   1
(1 row)

This is not a regression, i am able to see such behavior in v9.6 as well.
