Yeah, anything with nested intersect/except is likely to give the wrong
answers in 7.1.* :-(.  This seems to be a variant of that problem.
In 7.2beta I get the expected answer:

regression=# select distinct t.studid from stranscript t where not exists(
regression(# (select p.id from s_professor p where p.deptid = 'MUS')
regression(# except
regression(# (select  te.profid from s_teaching te, stranscript t1 where
regression(# t1.crscode=te.crscode and t1.semester = te.sem and t1.studid=t.studid));
 studid 
--------
    100
(1 row)

regression=#
