Definitely. If we accept SQL Standard syntax like this but then not do
what we should, it is clearly an ERROR. Our reputation will be damaged
if we don't, since people will think that we are blase about standards
compliance and about query correctness. Please lets move swiftly to plug
this hole, as if it were a data loss bug (it is, if it causes wrong
answers to queries for unsuspecting users).
