So this looks to me like an oversight in aa09cd242 (CCing rhaas and
Ashutosh accordingly), which changed find_em_expr_for_rel from using
bms_equal to bms_is_subset without considering the degenerate case of
members with no relids at all. I propose to simply add a !bms_is_empty
condition there; anyone have any better idea?
