It will never scan the wrong partition.  It will always scan all
partitions.  The server is smart enough to not generate a plan that is not
valid for only one parameter set.

Using protocol version 2 will not prepare queries so constraint exclusion
can be used.  Just append protocolVersion=2 to your URL.
