The original coding of EquivalenceClasses didn't foresee that appendrel child relations might themselves be appendrels; but this is possible for example when a UNION ALL subquery scans a table with inheritance children. The oversight led to failure to optimize ordering-related issues very well for the grandchild tables. After some false starts involving explicitly flattening the appendrel representation, we found that this could be fixed easily by removing a few implicit assumptions about appendrel parent rels not being children themselves.
