Yeah.  We are calling addRangeTableEntryForCTE inside parse analysis of
the CTE's query, and it's generating a ParseNamespaceItem with p_vartype = 0
because analyzeCTE hasn't yet identified the cycle_mark_type.  That
eventually results in a Var with vartype 0, confusing later parse analysis.

It looks to me like we can just move that part of the code up to before
we recurse to parse_sub_analyze, though.  AFAICS, identification of the
cycle column type needn't (and had better not) depend on any
characteristics of the CTE's query.
