This seems a variation of your previous report. To me your queries
looks like you are asking Pg to "give me any row from this sets" and
then complaining when it does not give you the same under different
conditions.
Something like you put a red ball on the left of a table, a black one
on the right, ask me to pick one ball and then complain when I pick
the black when unconstrained and the red when constrained by "using
only your left hand".
