I think it actually is a bug.  exec_for_query tries to set the target to
null this way:

                exec_move_row(estate, rec, row, NULL, tuptab->tupdesc);

and exec_move_row thinks it doesn't have to present a valid "valtype"
to exec_assign_value when it's assigning a made-up null, and that fails
when the target is of PLPGSQL_DTYPE_ROW type (looks like it'd fail for
REC type too, but ROW is the case here).

We could work around the particular issue by moving the
type_is_rowtype() tests down so they're not done for a null source
value, but I think that's just a hack.  A cleaner fix would be to teach
exec_move_row to present the correct column type in all cases.

                        regards, tom lane
