UNION ALL does work:
alvherre=# select ROW('4514 Cherry St','Oakland','CA','94666')::addrs
UNION ALL
select ROW('4515 Cherry St','Oakland','CA','94666')::addrs;
row

("4514 Cherry St",Oakland,CA,94666)
("4515 Cherry St",Oakland,CA,94666)
(2 filas)
I think the error message is misleading though, because the user has no
way to specify the ordering operator to UNION.
I think you could create a btree operator class to make it all work.
