Probably not. But it strikes me that there's another sin of omission
here: function and values RTEs need to be tweaked too, because they
contain expressions thst could have uplevel Vars in them. I'm not
certain such RTEs could appear at top level in a UNION query, but I'm
not sure they couldn't either.
I think I'd recommend continuing to copy the RTE unconditionally,
because in the cases where it's not going to be modified, there's
not enough substructure to make this expensive.
