Actually, the Gather path *isn't* parameterized.  The problem here is
that we're planning an unflattened subquery, and the only thing that
is parallel-unsafe is that there is an outer Param in its toplevel tlist,
and we're somehow deciding that we can stick that unsafe tlist into (and
beneath) the Gather node.  So something rotten in that area, but I've not
quite found it yet.
