I noticed that BF animal conchuela has several times fallen over on the
test case added by 558c9d75f:

Considering that this is a parallel plan, I don't think there's any
mystery about why an ORDER-BY-less query might have unstable output
order; the only mystery is why more of the buildfarm hasn't failed.
Can we just add "ORDER BY t1.id" to this query? It looks like you
get the same PHJ plan, although now underneath Sort/Gather Merge.
