It fails for me with a fresh database with:

explain select * from pg_attribute a where attname not in(select
column_name from information_schema.columns);

I suspect Result Cache is to blame here and that I've done something
wrong in setrefs.c.

I can look into this a bit more in the morning. It's not a good time
of day right now to debug setrefs.c
