Problem also happens if publication is created via FOR ALL TABLES /
FOR TABLES IN SCHEMA (without directly including partition head into
publication).

I have a suspicion that including partition head (directly or via FOR
ALL TABLES) into the initial publication - really required to get a
problem.
What is expected behavior in case when only partitions are included
into publication/subscription set, but partition head isn't included
and publish_via_partition_root='true' executed?
