It seems like commit 1375422c is related to this bug. The commit
introduced a new function ExecInitResultRelation() that sets both
estate->es_result_relations and estate->es_opened_result_relations. I
think it's better to use ExecInitResultRelation() rather than directly
setting estate->es_opened_result_relations. It might be better to do
that in create_estate_for_relation() though. Please find an attached
patch.

Since this issue happens on only HEAD and it seems an oversight of
commit 1375422c, I don't think regression tests for this are
essential.

Commits

  1. Add more tests with triggers on partitions for logical replication

  2. Fix relation leak for subscribers firing triggers in logical replication

  3. Create ResultRelInfos later in InitPlan, index them by RT index.
