It used to do so, in the beginning when we first added context-printing.
There were complaints that the result was too verbose; for instance if you
had a RAISE NOTICE inside a loop for progress-monitoring purposes, you'd
get two lines for every one you wanted. I think if we undid this we'd
get the same complaints again. I agree that in complicated nests of
functions the location info is more interesting than it is in trivial
cases, but that doesn't mean you're not going to hear such complaints from
people with trivial functions.
