Hmm, I'm not sure about the fix. It seems to me that it simply
prevents removing any PHVs in the self-join removal case. My concern
is that this might result in PHVs that could actually be removed not
being removed in many cases.
Besides, there's the specific comment above this code explaining the
logic behind the removal of PHVs. Shouldn't that comment be updated
to reflect the changes?
Thanks
