The stack traces run through the EvalPlanQual machinery, which is only
going to be entered when attempting to update/delete a row that's been
updated by a concurrent transaction. So what I'd suggest for creating a
test case is
(1) in a psql session, do
BEGIN;
UPDATE some-target-row;
(2) in another psql session, call this function with arguments
that will make it try to update that same row; it should
block.
(3) in the first session, COMMIT to unblock.
FWIW, having re-examined your patch with some caffeine in me, I don't
think it's right at all. You can't just blow off setting the scan type
for a CTEScan node. What it looks like to me is that the EvalPlanQual
code is not initializing the new execution tree correctly; but that
idea would be a lot easier to check into with a test case.
