If the same query is getting executed both at top level and as a nested statement, two entries will then be created. That's probably unlikely for things like RI trigger queries, but I don't know what to expect for client application queries.
Right, but this is how things already work. The extra field you've proposed won't increase the number of records so it shouldn't affect how users choose pg_stat_statements.max.
