Apparently in both cases the second foreign scan of append ends up in
recursion:

    ->  Foreign Scan on public.ftab2 ftab1_2
        Remote SQL: SELECT NULL FROM public.ftab2

This leads to a chain of the same cursor declarations:

    DECLARE c1 CURSOR FOR SELECT a FROM public.ftab4

With a pattern:

    bind -> new backend with the same declare -> execute -> bind -> ...

In the case of async foreign scan it hits limitation when no new
requests be sent while there is a pending one. In the second case it
hits connection limit. Shouldn't this type of foreign paths be avoided
by FDW?
