It turns out that all of these failures come from the same place,
which is that I had broken the handling of INSERT ... SELECT actions
inside rules.

I have committed a patch that appears to fix the problem.
I think that Marc has already tagged beta1, however, so the patch
will not be in the beta1 tarball due to appear Real Soon Now.
You can pull current sources from the CVS server, or grab a nightly
snapshot tarball after tonight.

Thanks for the detailed, easy-to-reproduce bug example! These sorts of
reports are by far the nicest from a developer's point of view ;-)

regards, tom lane
