This is a bug :-(. The parse analysis code seems to think that WITH can
only be attached to the top level or a leaf-level SELECT within a set
operation tree; but the grammar follows the SQL standard which says
no such thing. The WITH gets accepted, and attached to the
intermediate-level UNION which is where syntactically it should go,
and then it's entirely ignored during parse analysis. Will see about
fixing it.
