This is overly conservative.  It should be safe to destroy a plan tree
via freeObject() if it was created via copyObject() --- and that is
certainly how the plan would get into a permanent memory context.

Currently, rule definitions are leaked in CacheContext at relcache
flushes.  I plan to start freeing them via freeObject at the beginning
of the 7.1 development cycle --- I didn't want to risk it during the
runup to 7.0, but I believe it will work fine.
