While I haven't looked in detail, I'd be surprised if this wasn't an
issue with pre-8.3 versions lack of any way to automatically re-generate
cached plans in functions.

Try running your code on an 8.3 installation and see if you still get
the issue. I strongly suspect you won't.

If this does prove to be the case, there are workarounds for pre-8.3
versions, usually involving the use of  EXECUTE to bypass the cache and
force re-planning of statements at every execution. However, if it's
practical to do so upgrading to 8.3 might be a nicer and (in the long
run) easier option.
