Hmm, good find. As I recall, I was opposed to the idea of throwing an
error if the WHEN expression writes to the database, and the previous
implementation had some hole, so I just ripped it out after discussing
it; but I evidently failed to notice this test case about it.

However, I can't find any mailing list discussion about this point.
Maybe I just asked Simon off-list about it.

IMO just deleting that test is a sufficient fix.
