Fix oversight in planning of GROUP queries: when an expression is used

2001-01-09T03:48:51+00:00

as both a GROUP BY item and an output expression, the top-level Group
node should just copy up the evaluated expression value from its input,
rather than re-evaluating the expression.  Aside from any performance
benefit this might offer, this avoids a crash when there is a sub-SELECT
in said expression.

Fix small but critical typo ...
