I agree that it's probably better to just disallow this, but I have to
admit I don't like your proposed patch much. It seems to me that the
right place to fix this is in interpretOidsOption(), by returning
false rather than default_with_oids whenever the relation is a
materialized view. That would require passing the relkind as an
additional argument to interpretOidsOption(), but that doesn't seem
problematic.

Then, the parser could just error out if OIDS=anything appears in the
options list, but it wouldn't need to actually kludge the options list
as you've done here.
