optimizer seems to skip stored function call in where clause?

We have found something we think is a bug in the optimizer, but before reporting wanted to see whether there was something we just don't know.

I'll follow up with a script to reproduce, but the simplest expression of the bug is this:
select 1 from t1 where t1.id = '1234' and 1=returnzero(t1.id)
returns a single row.
select 1 from t1 where t1.id = 1234 and 1=returnzero(t1.id)
returns no rows.

We've determined that in the first case, returnzero is never called. In the second, it is called.

In addition, we looked at the optimizer trace, and the biggest difference we can find is there is a "condition_on_constant_tables" step in the first variation that doesn't exist on the second.

We can work around this bug (there are various ways to fix it), but we want to make sure we know if there are other ways it might present, and also if it's truly a bug, it probably is going to bite someone else :)
