Okay, so it's clearly processing the USING expression and not something
else, which is weird because that should've just been parsed against the
existing table column; how could that Var contain the wrong type?

I'm wondering if this represents some sort of out-of-sync condition
between the table and its child tables.  We can't actually tell from
this trace which table is being processed.  Could you try, from this
breakpoint,

f 3
p oldrel->rd_rel->relname
