So - I do think there's a bug here, if _tables_ can be created with
character(1) fields containing three- or four-character strings.

[ shrug... ]  If you can demonstrate such a behavior, I'd agree it's a
bug, but the examples at hand have nothing to do with what gets stored
into tables.

regress=> CREATE TYPE testtype AS (id int, salesourcecode character);
CREATE TYPE
regress=> CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test_char_function()
  RETURNS SETOF testtype AS
$BODY$
VALUES (1, 'one'), (2, 'two'), (3, 'three');
$BODY$
  LANGUAGE 'sql';
CREATE FUNCTION
regress=> SELECT * INTO test_tab FROM test_char_function();
SELECT
regress=> select * from test_tab;
 id | salesourcecode
----+----------------
  1 | one
  2 | two
  3 | three
(3 rows)

craig=> \d test_tab

 salesourcecode | character(1) |
