...WHERE TRUE" condition in union results in bad query pla

Hi,
(Sorry about double post, I just registered on the performance mailing
list, but sent the mail from the wrong account - if anyone responds,
please respond to this address)

Another issue I have encountered :)

Query optimizer glitch: "...WHERE TRUE" condition in union results in
bad query plan when sorting the union on a column where for each
union-member there exists an index.
Find minimal example below.

Cheers,

PostgreSQL 9.1.3 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc-4.6.real
(Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.1-9ubuntu3) 4.6.1, 64-bit

DROP TABLE a;
DROP TABLE b;

CREATE TABLE a AS SELECT generate_series id FROM generate_series(1,
1000000);
CREATE TABLE b AS SELECT generate_series id FROM generate_series(1,
1000000);
CREATE INDEX idx_a ON a(id);
CREATE INDEX idx_b ON b(id);

Q1: Returns immediately:
SELECT c.id FROM (SELECT a.id FROM a UNION ALL SELECT b.id FROM b) c
ORDER BY c.id LIMIT 10;

Q2: Takes a while:
SELECT c.id FROM (SELECT a.id FROM a UNION ALL SELECT b.id FROM b WHERE
TRUE) c ORDER BY c.id LIMIT 10;

Good plan of Q1:
EXPLAIN SELECT c.id FROM (SELECT a.id FROM a UNION ALL SELECT b.id FROM
b) c ORDER BY c.id LIMIT 10;
Limit (cost=0.01..0.57 rows=10 width=4)
-> Result (cost=0.01..1123362.70 rows=20000000 width=4)
-> Merge Append (cost=0.01..1123362.70 rows=20000000 width=4)
Sort Key: a.id
-> Index Scan using idx_a on a (cost=0.00..436681.35
rows=10000000 width=4)
-> Index Scan using idx_b on b (cost=0.00..436681.35
rows=10000000 width=4)

Bad plan of Q2: Does sorting although index scan would be sufficient
EXPLAIN SELECT c.id FROM (SELECT a.id FROM a UNION ALL SELECT b.id FROM
b WHERE TRUE) c ORDER BY c.id LIMIT 10;
Limit (cost=460344.41..460344.77 rows=10 width=4)
-> Result (cost=460344.41..1172025.76 rows=20000000 width=4)
-> Merge Append (cost=460344.41..1172025.76 rows=20000000
width=4)
Sort Key: a.id
-> Index Scan using idx_a on a (cost=0.00..436681.35
rows=10000000 width=4)
-> Sort (cost=460344.40..485344.40 rows=10000000 width=4)
Sort Key: b.id
-> Seq Scan on b (cost=0.00..144248.00
rows=10000000 width=4)
