I was messing around with your test case and didn't manage to get any
plan that had any rows to use the partial path with the LIMIT.  I
ended up dropping the test that was checking the results were empty as
I didn't think it added much more value over the EXPLAIN output.

I pushed the result.

Thanks for working on this.
