When pull_up_sublinks() converts a sublink to an antijoin, it builds a JoinExpr with no RTE, on the grounds that nothing above the join can reference its RHS. That overlooks PlaceHolderVars. A PHV with no Vars of its own is evaluated at its phrels, and for the outputs of a pulled-up subquery phrels is all the relids in the subquery's jointree, including the RHS of such a join. A qual using the PHV thus appears to reference the RHS rels, and can be pushed down into the RHS as a parameterized join clause. There it has the opposite of the intended effect: outer rows that fail the qual find no match and are emitted, giving wrong results. For an outer join, including an antijoin made by reducing a left join, this cannot happen because the join's relid is among the qual's relids. Before v16, the qual's nullable_relids prevented it. To fix, make a join RTE for an antijoin built from a sublink, so that it has a relid like any other outer join. Semijoins are left as they are: a qual evaluated within a semijoin's RHS does not change the result. Back-patch to v16. Before that, the qual's nullable_relids included the antijoin's RHS, which kept the qual from being moved there; that protection went away when nullable_relids was replaced by outer-join relids.
