The patch with a fix is attached. I put the test in
src/test/regress/sql/join.sql. It isn't the perfect location because
it is testing something exercisable with a join but not directly
related to the fact that it is a join. I also considered
src/test/regress/sql/select.sql, but it also isn't directly related to
the query being a SELECT query. If there is a better place for a test
of a bitmap heap scan edge case, let me know.

One other note: there is some concurrency effect in the parallel
schedule group containing "join" where you won't trip the assert if
all the tests in that group in the parallel schedule are run. But, if
you would like to verify that the test exercises the correct code,
just reduce the group containing "join".
