I suspected it would be needed, that's why I sugested it.

I prefer to write the queries as CTEs because they are much easier to
read, but IIRC they are some kind of 'optimization fences'. Some times
I end up using psql macros to write queries in CTE-like order in my
scripts and compose them into sub selects when I have this problems.

Good. The only problem is you are not guaranteed a result, like in the
contrived example I gave, but if it is what you want this is a way to
go.
