Nah, I stand corrected:
/*
* For base-type returns, the target list should have exactly one
* entry, and its type should agree with what the user declared. (As
* of Postgres 7.2, we accept binary-compatible types too.)
*/
On reflection I think the problem is that inline_function() is inserting
the function's expression and not adding a RelabelType node to make sure
that the rebuilt expression still returns exactly the type the function
claims to return. Will fix.
