Nit: all CTEs start from WITH clause; so your statement is a bit confusing.

I'd rephrase a bit:

Views are allowed to contain CTEs. CTE is a temporary object, created
and destroyed at SQL runtime (it is represented by an ephemeral table).
So, it is absent in space cache and as a consequence we can't increment
its reference counter. Skip iteration.

Nit: you forgot to describe name argument.

sql_select_contains_cte() is enough, I guess.

Please explain why we don't use recursion here (cte->pSelect->pWith).
I'd attach schema of SELECT for the sake of the clarity.

Nit: in case 'if' body contains more than one string it is enclosed in
brackets.
