Sounds like you didn't heed my warning. It is *probably* safe to make 
the elog(ERROR...) to elog(NOTICE...) change *in that one function*, 
dblink_connect(), and then use persistent connections, e.g.

select dblink_connect('dbname=blah ...');
select * from dblink('select f1 from foo') as (f1 text);

If instead you made the change within the dblink_record() function, and 
you weren't careful to add additional error handling, then the message 
you got is what I'd expect. You basically broke dblink for those scenarios.
