You have to specify column constraints using the keywords WITH OPTIONS,
like below:
create table p1 partition of p ( a with options primary key
) for values in (1);

It's a bug. Forgot to consider RELKIND_PARTITIONED_TABLE to an if block
in the code that checks inheritance parent relation's relkind when
creating an index constraint (primary key) on a child table. Will fix,
thanks for catching it.
