What are you expecting "execute true" to do? The argument of EXECUTE
is a string, not a boolean, and it's supposed to be a string that looks
like a SQL command. The result
> ERROR: syntax error at or near "t" at character 1

is pretty much what I'd expect considering that plpgsql will do whatever
it takes to coerce the expression result to text.
