I don't think so. Perl's DBI is involved, but the statement's in a
variable. The code in question is:

   if ($db->{debug}) {
    $db->debug("SQL is: $sql\n");
    my $rows = $db->{dbh}->selectall_arrayref("explain analyze $sql",
                                              undef, $db->{arch},
                                              $db->{basebranch});
    foreach my $row (@$rows) {
      $db->debug(join(" ", @$row). "\n");
    }
    $db->debug_stamp("Initial query done\n");
  }

  $rows = $db->{dbh}->selectall_arrayref($sql,
					 undef, $db->{arch},
					 $db->{basebranch});

There's no transform of the sql variable between the two statements, just
a quick loop over the returned rows from the explain analyze to print them
out. (I did try to make sure that the debugging bits were done the same
way as the mainline code, but I may have bobbled something)
