See this ancient comment in transformSetOperationStmt:
* For now, we don't support resjunk sort clauses on the output of a
* setOperation tree --- you can only use the SQL92-spec options of
* selecting an output column by name or number. Enforce by checking that
* transformSortClause doesn't add any items to tlist.
Perhaps sometime we ought to make an effort to relax that.
