Thanks for the report.  This bug also appears to exist in 8.4; I'm not
sure yet how far back it goes.  I'm not so sure your proposed patch is
the right fix, though; it seems like it ought to be the job of
AddRelationNewConstraints() and MergeWithExistingConstraint() to make
sure that the right thing happens, here.
