I'm not convinced by this blithe assertion "not our business to raise
error". The adjacent case for ExecuteStmt *will* raise an error if
it can't find the prepared statement; why shouldn't this case act like
that one? IOW, the sequence of client operations that you show is
invalid, and I think we ought to push back on that accordingly.
