Well, that's great to hear. Reading the spec and our manual, actually
additional clauses to VALUES are all PostgreSQL's extension.
So simply adding these fix it:
/* * We have three cases to deal with: DEFAULT VALUES (selectStmt == NULL),
- * VALUES list, or general SELECT input. We special-case VALUES, both for
- * efficiency and so we can handle DEFAULT specifications.
+ * simple VALUES list, or general SELECT input including complex VALUES.
+ * We special-case VALUES, both for efficiency and so we can handle
+ * DEFAULT specifications. In a complex VALUES case, which means the list
+ * has any of ORDER BY, OFFSET, LIMIT or WITH, we don't accept DEFAULT
+ * in it; The spec may require it but for now we reject it from point of
+ * code base and expected use cases. */

I found the current manual of VALUES doesn't mention WITH clause atop
it. Should we add it?
