Indeed, it's unlikely that anybody would like these particular
results. But perhaps somebody is running an application that does
this and happens to not trip over any obviously-wrong case; for
example, if one always selects all columns from this view, the
issue is not apparent.
I'm not necessarily against adding the prohibition in the back
branches. However, if this has been wrong since 10.x (if not
further back) then it seems like few people are tripping over
the inconsistency.
