I share David's skepticism about the value of a test case.  The
failure mode that seems likely to me is some other code path making
the same mistake, which a predetermined test would not catch.

Therefore, what I think could be useful is some very-late-stage
assertion check (probably in createplan.c) verifying that the
child of a Gather is parallel-aware.  Or maybe the condition
needs to be more general than that, but anyway the idea is for
the back end of the planner to verify that we didn't build a
silly plan.
