Yes, it does fix all the three queries in the SQL script.
The question however is whether this is the root issue, and whether it's
the right way to fix it. For example - volatility is not the only reason
that may block qual pushdown. If you look at qual_is_pushdown_safe, it
also blocks pushdown of leaky functions in security_barrier views. So I
wonder if that could cause failures too, somehow. But I haven't managed
to create such example.
