This can be reduced to

WITH RECURSIVE ta01 AS (
  WITH any_cte_name AS ( TABLE ta01 )
  DELETE FROM v00 RETURNING * )
TABLE ta01;

That should be rejected, because ta01 has a self-reference and is not
in the allowed form "base-case UNION query-with-self-reference".
However, we managed to miss the appearance of the self-reference
because the code in charge of detecting it hadn't been taught that
WITH is now allowed in INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE.  (Which is a bit
disheartening, but there you have it.)

Fixed, thanks for the report!
