I looked into this and it seems the problem is that the view doesn't
get flattened into the main query because of the has_nullable_targetlist
limitation in prepjointree.c. That's triggered because pg_roles has
'********'::text AS rolpassword
which isn't nullable, meaning it would produce wrong behavior if
referenced above the outer join.
Ultimately, the reason this is a problem is that the planner deals only
in simple Vars while processing joins; it doesn't want to think about
expressions. I'm starting to think that it may be time to fix this,
because I've run into several related restrictions lately, but it seems
like a nontrivial project.
In the meantime, reducing the LEFT JOIN to pg_roles to a JOIN as per
Peter's suggestion seems like the best short-term workaround.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces including some of the more common listed below: C++ - http://thaiopensource.org/development/libpqxx/ JDBC - http://jdbc.postgresql.org ODBC - http://odbc.postgresql.org Perl - http://search.cpan.org/~dbdpg/ PHP - http://www.php.net Python - http://www.initd.org/ Ruby - http://ruby.scripting.ca/postgres/ Other language binding are available from a variety of contributing parties. PostgreSQL also has a great number of procedural languages available, a short but not complete list is below: pl/c - Included in PostgreSQL core plPgsql - Included in PostgreSQL core - Similar to Oracle PL/sql plPerl - Included in PostgreSQL core plPHP - http://projects.commandprompt.com/projects/public/plphp plPython - Included in PostgreSQL core plJava - http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pljava/projdisplay.php plTcl - Included in PostgreSQL core See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
