Sorry for the delay in following up on this thread.  I've posted new
patches on the other.

FWIW, I think we should go ahead and apply the patches for the bug
reported here.  Anyone who tries to project an updated tuple's system
columns using RETURNING are likely to face problems one way or
another, especially if they have partitioned tables containing
partitions of varying table AMs, but at least they won't face the bug
discussed here.

I've attached patches for all affected branches.
