Yes, per the comment on those functions:

 * These are for invocation of a specifically named function with a
 * directly-computed parameter list.  Note that neither arguments nor result
 * are allowed to be NULL.  Also, the function cannot be one that needs to
 * look at FmgrInfo, since there won't be any.

Use fmgr_info() or a sibling to fill in the FmgrInfo.
