Works for me.  After a quick glance at the release notes, I think this was
fixed in 9.1.4:

    * Fix planning of UNION ALL subqueries with output columns that are not simple variables (Tom Lane)

    Planning of such cases got noticeably worse in 9.1 as a result of a misguided fix for "MergeAppend child's
targetlistdoesn't match MergeAppend" errors. Revert that fix and do it another way.
