No, and git bisect shows that it worked until commit
5194024d72f33fb209e10f9ab0ada7cc67df45b7.

Moving to -hackers list for discussion of how to fix it.

It looks like the above commit missed a trick here:

diff --git a/src/backend/executor/execMain.c b/src/backend/executor/execMain.c
index 791f336..0b47106 100644

-               sp_eflags = eflags & EXEC_FLAG_EXPLAIN_ONLY;
+               sp_eflags = eflags
+                       & (EXEC_FLAG_EXPLAIN_ONLY | EXEC_FLAG_WITH_NO_DATA);
                if (bms_is_member(i, plannedstmt->rewindPlanIDs))
                        sp_eflags |= EXEC_FLAG_REWIND;

The test case provided works with this change.  Does anyone see a
problem with that?  If not, I'll push it with the above test case
added to the regression tests.
