Per pgsql-bugs, it's an expected compatibility issue due to unifying the
SQL and PLPGSQL parsers.  That is, the fact that plpgsql used to let you
do this was regarded as a bug, and was not consistent with the SQL
command line.

Worth noting in the release notes as part of a general class of
backwards-compatibility issues.
