FWIW if you try to set this up the other way around, you get a different
error:

create table t (a int primary key) partition by list (a);
create table t1 partition of t for values in (1);
alter table t add foreign key (a) references t1;
ERROR:  cannot ALTER TABLE "t1" because it is being used by active queries in this session

so I'm not bothered by the restriction in functionality.
