That was the short form exhibiting the bug. Selecting the complex
column from a table into a value results in the same error.
BEGIN;
CREATE TYPE timestamp_with_precision AS
( timestamp timestamp with time zone
, timestamp_precision varchar
);
CREATE TABLE timetest(t timestamp_with_precision);
INSERT INTO timetest VALUES ((CURRENT_DATE, 'day')::timestamp_with_precision);
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION testfunc() RETURNS boolean AS $FUNC$
DECLARE
v_time timestamp_with_precision;
BEGIN
SELECT t
INTO v_time
FROM timetest;
RETURN true;
END;
$FUNC$ LANGUAGE plpgsql VOLATILE SECURITY DEFINER RETURNS NULL ON NULL
INPUT;
SELECT testfunc();
ROLLBACK;
