Simplified test case:
> ~~~
CREATE TABLE t2(b,c);
INSERT INTO t2 VALUES(1,2),(1,3),(2,5);
CREATE VIEW v3 AS
WITH RECURSIVE t3(x,y,z) AS (
SELECT b,c,NULL FROM t2
UNION
SELECT x,y,c FROM t3, t2 WHERE b=x
ORDER BY y
)
SELECT * FROM t3;
SELECT * FROM v3; -- This works
> CREATE TABLE t1(a);
ALTER TABLE t1 RENAME a TO a2; -- fails in v3
~~~
