Probably not until someone codes a better fix. I have it on my plate
to look into a better fix, but I've been horribly busy lately.

Yeah, on second thought I have doubts about the throw-error approach too.
We've allowed this historically for a very long time, so I'm afraid we'd
get a lot of pushback if we change the external behavior now. The
realistic alternatives are either to fix the code to support having
plansource->raw_parse_tree be NULL, or to invent a dummy node type to
put there. Not sure which is better.
