Hi,

by experiment I reduced the query to this

--- 0 ---
select distinct
        subq_0.c1 as c0,
        case when (true = pg_catalog.pg_rotate_logfile_old()) then
                ref_0.t else ref_0.t
        end
             as c4
        from
          public.ref_0,
          lateral (select

                ref_0.i as c1
              from
                generate_series(1, 100) as ref_1) as subq_0
--- 0 ---

the only custom table already needed can be created with this commands:

--- 0 ---
create table ref_0 as select repeat('abcde', (random() * 10)::integer)
t, random() * 1000 i from generate_series(1, 500000);
create index on ref_0 (i);
analyze ref_0 ;
--- 0 ---

there is an index involved but not on that field, commands above
create the index in the right column... after that, ANALYZE the table

same error
