The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference:      17243
Logged by:          mark sloan
Email address:      mark.a.sloan@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 14.0
Operating system:   MacOS
Description:        

Seeing a issue with 'EXPLAIN' throwing an error on a query that otherwise
runs without issue. 

example query case. 
---------------------------------------------
select x.v into explainctebug from (values('foo'),('bar'),('baz')) as
x(v);

query:

with recursive a as 
(
    select v, '' as x, 0 as n from explainctebug 
    union all
    select v, substring(v,n+1,1) as x, n+1 as n from a where n < length(v)
)
select x, count(*) from a where n > 0
group by x order by count(*) desc;


returns. 

 x | count 
---+-------
 a |     2
 b |     2
 o |     2
 r |     1
 z |     1
 f |     1
(6 rows)

this seems like it might be a bug?

Thanks for the report!  It's a duplicate though; we already fixed this
for 14.1 [1].  Or at least, your example works for me on HEAD and
REL_14_STABLE branch tip.
