Review Comment:
Also, to clarify. The "incorrect plans" is because the new `union()`
behavior [takes the left node's
schema](https://github.com/apache/datafusion/blob/4fd460d7a2d2b60e6f9dc716148d8596d94d048c/datafusion/expr/src/logical_plan/builder.rs#L1346-L1352)
-- and doesn't type cast the expressions. When we built logical plans with
union + gap filling (adding casted scalar nulls), we started having missing
fields etc when inspecting the union before constructing the next node.
Maybe that part should be a bug?
