this is true Tom, but problem is in EXPLAIN. I thing, so my and your
solution are little bit incorect. We solve result, not reason. We have
problem, bacause plan doesn't carry parameter's flags, and with
EXPLAIN planner is called two times with different param's flags.

It is first time when I do some with EXPLAIN and I don't understad
well, but I would correct EXPLAIN output. When original plan use
variables I would to see variables in plan and when plan use constant
I would to see constant.
