Yes, this is a known defect of the partitioning code, and it's one of
(probably the most powerful) reason why it's not enabled by default.

With PL/pgSQL functions you don't have to destroy and recreate the
function -- just close the connection and reconnect.

It's not fixed in 8.2.  There's been a lot of noise about fixing this
for 8.3 (look for "plan invalidation"), but it's not done yet.
