The Var is displayed, but not via varnosyn. ruleutils.c uses varnosyn only when dpns->plan is NULL, and EXPLAIN always sets the plan before deparsing an expression, so it prints the semantic referent (a.b_id). But I think it'd still be better to use "explain verbose", so at least what ruleutils prints is recorded. I'll make that change before push. - Richard
