After some more investigation it seems that the issue is an empty prefix
in the code mentioned in my previous email. When it's constructed
BTGreaterStrategyNumber is excluded, which makes the logic somehow
dependend on the order or clauses (e.g. the original reported case would
be fine for a table with those two colums in other order), it looks
strange for me. Not sure if the attached fix is correct, but it allows
to avoid empty prefix, avoiding the crash, and passes the tests.
