I think I'm current on 9.2.5 / CentOs 6.4.

ag_spc=> SELECT version();
                                                   version

Don't know if this is useful information, but I was surprised that the
problem continues even wrapping the view as a subquery, and then even if
the subquery has a client_id IS NOT NULL clause:

ag_spc=> SELECT foo.client_id AS foo_id,boo.client_id AS
ri_id,move_in_type,annual_income,monthly_income_total,dependent_count FROM
(SELECT -1 AS client_id) foo LEFT OUTER JOIN (SELECT * FROM rent_info WHERE
client_id IS NOT NULL) boo USING (client_id);
 foo_id | ri_id | move_in_type | annual_income | monthly_income_total |
dependent_count
--------+-------+--------------+---------------+----------------------+-----------------
     -1 |       | Move-in      |             0 |                    0 |
          0
(1 row)

I'm happy to provide whatever additional information is helpful--just let
me know.  Thanks.

Ken
