This should help.  I managed to whiddle the example down even further.

CREATE TABLE a ( a_a text
);
CREATE TABLE b ( b_a text
);

CREATE TABLE b_chld () INHERITS (b);

EXPLAIN SELECT a_a FROM a LEFT JOIN b ON a_a = lower(b_a);


Results in:
ERROR:  bogus varattno for OUTER var: 2

The function call and the inheritance are both required, remove either and
it works fine.
