Ah. Yes, you are quite right: the queries used for PK checking are
planned just once when first executed, and thereafter the plans are
cached and reused for the life of that backend. No doubt you are seeing
continued use of a no-longer-appropriate PK plan.
We have a TODO item to be smarter about dropping cached plans when
relevant context changes, but it's not done yet.
