This is fixed in HEAD as a consequence of commit
http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git&a=commitdiff&h=11e131854f8231a21613f834c40fe9d046926387
--- I get

SELECT t.a, t.b FROM t1 t WHERE (t.a IN (SELECT t.a FROM t2 t_1));

which is a valid representation of the view. At the time we felt it was
not worth the risk of back-patching. I'm still inclined to think that,
since this example doesn't seem to correspond to any real-world use case
(the original query is surely a mistake no?).
