Yes -- from what I can see in gdb:

1) add_with_check_options() adds both (value > 0) and (true) to  withCheckOptions -- this seems correct as the USING
expression is used for WITH CHECK when the latter is not specified 

2) ExecWithCheckOptions() checks (value > 0) which fails, and it  immediately throws an ERROR, i.e. it never checks the
(true) expression and therefore never ORs the results -- this seems  incorrect, it uses restrictive not permissive
