It may be reproduced with any expression, treated as a simple 
expression. For example:

DO $$
DECLARE
  p_CurData refcursor;
BEGIN
  OPEN p_CurData SCROLL FOR SELECT now();
END; $$;

The problem here is in the scrollable cursors code which inserts 
Material node:

    if (cursorOptions & CURSOR_OPT_SCROLL)
    {
        if (!ExecSupportsBackwardScan(top_plan))
            top_plan = materialize_finished_plan(top_plan);
    }

But the exec_save_simple_expr() doesn't process Material node and causes 
the ERROR.
