Hmm, so maybe that's a reason to do it via resowner.c, then. The fact
that it's a singleton object is a bit annoying, but you could make it
not a singleton, and then either pass the relevant one to the
interface functions, or store the current one in a global variable
similar to CurrentMemoryContext or similar.

The thing that's weird about that is that it isn't really logically
linked to the portal. It feels like it more properly belongs in
StartTransactionCommand() / CommitTransactionCommand().

You don't necessarily have to register a new object for every batch,
do you? You could just register one and keep reusing it for the
lifetime of the query.
