Yesterday I noticed a failure on cirrus-ci for the 'Right Semi Join'
patch. The failure can be found at [1], and it looks like:

Upon closer look, it seems that this issue is not caused by the patch
about 'Right Semi Join', because this query, which initially included
two left joins, can actually be reduced to a function scan after
removing these two useless left joins. It seems that no semi-joins
would be involved.

Does anyone have any clue to this failure?
FWIW, after another run of this test, the failure just disappears. Does
it suggest that the test case is flaky?
