expression_returns_set() used to short-circuit its recursion upon seeing certain node types, such as DistinctExpr, that it knew the executor did not support set-valued arguments for. That was never inherent, though, just a reflection of laziness in execQual.c. With the new implementation of SRFs there is no reason to think that any scalar-valued expression node could not have a set-valued subexpression, except for AggRefs and WindowFuncs where we know there is a parser check rejecting it. And indeed, the shortcut causes unexpected failures for cases such as a SRF underneath DistinctExpr, because the planner stops looking for SRFs too soon.
