There's not really any expectation that those be valid info during
planning. The parser has a substantially different code path for
single-row INSERT than multi-row (mostly to minimize overhead for the
single-row case), and probably somewhere in there is the reason why
these happen to show up as valid in that case.
If you want column names, the eref field of RTEs is usually the right
place to look.

I don't think it's a bug.
