I was just looking at [1], line 1858. I see there is a test that runs
through that code, it's just that because the previous step sorts the
List of IntLists by the length of the IntList, that the IntList with 0
items is the initial list.  linitial_node() does allow NULL, so no
failure.

The test in question is this one in groupingsets.sql

select a, b, c
from (values (1, 2, 3), (4, null, 6), (7, 8, 9)) as t (a, b, c)
group by distinct rollup(a, b), rollup(a, c)
order by a, b, c;

Changing it to the following triggers the failure.

select a, b, c
from (values (1, 2, 3), (4, null, 6), (7, 8, 9)) as t (a, b, c)
group by distinct rollup(a, b), rollup(a, c), grouping sets (a)
order by a, b, c;
