I'm having a hard time imagining that add_child_rel_equivalences is not 
just plain wrong. Even though it will only add child equivalence members 
to a parent eq class when certain conditions are met, isn't it the case 
that since a union (all) is addition of tuples and not joining, any kind 
of propagating restrictions on a append rel child member to other areas 
of the plan can cause unwanted results, like the ones currently seen?
