Hmm, interesting.  This can be reduced to

set force_parallel_mode = on;

explain
with j1 as (select * from int8_tbl)
select * from int4_tbl where false and EXISTS (select 1 as c0 from j1);

The "plan should not reference subplan's variable" fail seems to be due
to ancient fuzzy thinking in SS_finalize_plan.  When I fix that, I get
a plan like so:
Gather  (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=0 width=0)  Workers Planned: 1  Single Copy: true  ->  Result  (cost=1.05..1.05 rows=0
width=4)       One-Time Filter: false        CTE j1          ->  Seq Scan on int8_tbl  (cost=0.00..1.05 rows=5
width=16)

but if I try to actually execute the query, it crashes at runtime,
apparently because the CTE has not been passed over to the parallel
worker.  Robert, is it expected that CTEs should be parallel-safe?
I'd have thought not.
