This is a known bug, but the fix will be to reject such rules entirely.
An aggregate in a rule's WHERE clause is not sensible --- what are you
aggregating over?

I think a rule is the wrong way to approach this anyhow. What would
probably make more sense is an AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE trigger that
runs a SUM() computation on the table and throws an error if it doesn't
like the result.
