I've never thought about that. And I cannot imagine anyone is using
that way in extended protocol to simulate multi-statement queries. Is
that documented somewhere?

From the document about statement_timeout (config.sgml):
Abort any statement that takes more than the specified number of milliseconds, starting from the time the
commandarrives at the server from the client. If <varname>log_min_error_statement</> is set to
<literal>ERROR</>or lower, the statement that timed out will also be logged. A value of zero (the default) turns
thisoff.
Apparently "starting from the time the command arrives at the server
from the client" referrers to the timing of execute message arrives to
server the in my example. And I think current behavior of our code is
doing different from what he document advertises. Or at least counter
intuitive to users.

Will check.
