Oh, interesting. Apparently we got past the "Has cache invalidation fired
on this plan?" check:
if (!plansource->is_valid || plan != plansource->gplan || !plan->is_valid)
return false;
because "plan" and "plansource->gplan" were *both* null, which is
a case the code wasn't expecting. plansource.c seems to be paranoid
about gplan possibly being null everywhere else but here :-(

Hm. Perhaps that helps explain how we got into this state. It must
be some weird race condition, given the lack of prior reports.
Anyway, adding a check for plan not being null seems like the
obvious fix.
