Hmm, nasty.  It looks like all nested cases of INTERSECT/EXCEPT are
broken.

Attached is a patch I've applied to CVS sources (7.2-to-be).  I don't
have enough confidence in it to back-patch it into 7.1.* right now,
but if you want to apply it locally I think it will work for you.

                        regards, tom lane
