Please, add comments explaining what's going on here. Despite the seeming
simplicity, this change is way far from being obvious. This time I've added
comment myself:

+                       /*
+                        * At this stage SELECT is already materialized
+                        * into ephemeral table, which has one additional
+                        * tail field (except for ones specified in view
+                        * format) which contains sequential ids. These ids
+                        * are required since selected values may turn out to
+                        * be non-unique. For instance:
+                        * CREATE TABLE t (id INT PRIMARY KEY, a INT);
+                        * INSERT INTO t VALUES (1, 1), (2, 1), (3, 1);
+                        * CREATE VIEW v AS SELECT a FROM t;
+                        * Meanwhile ephemeral tables feature PK covering ALL
+                        * fields of format, so without id materialization
+                        * processing is impossible. Then, results of
+                        * materialization are transferred to the table being
+                        * created below. So to fit tuples in it we must
+                        * account that id field as well. That's why pk_len
+                        * has one field more than view format.
+                        */

Next time I'll reject such patches.

Pushed to master, 2.3 and 2.2.
