Is that the only possible outcome? Per Robert's summary quoted above,
it seems like it might be possible for the code to decide that the final
scan/join target to be parallel safe when it is not, leading to outright
wrong answers or query failures. If the wrong answer can only be wrong
in the safe direction, it's not very clear why.
