I think we just need to decide up front if we're in a situation that
can't provide datum1/isnull1 (in this case because it's an expression
index), and skip the optimised paths. Here's an experimental patch...
still looking into whether there are more cases like this...
(There's also room to recognise when you don't even need to look at
isnull1 for a less branchy optimised sort, but that was already
discussed and put off for later.)
