What PG version exactly? We've been moving towards fuller
representation of the semantics in the parse tree over time,
so that's a very relevant question.
FWIW I think this should be pretty much fixed as of CVS HEAD, because
all of the sorting/grouping semantics are now normalized in
SortGroupClauses and find_expr_references() does know about them.
Can you extract a test case from your problem DB so we can verify
nothing got missed?
