Not a bug.

 PG> CREATE FUNCTION overpaid(emp)

 PG>    AS '/src/postgres/src/test/regress/regress.so'
 PG>    LANGUAGE C STRICT;

"overpaid" in regress.so returns a boolean scalar, not a row of any
kind. It is the responsibility of the person issuing CREATE FUNCTION for
a C-language function to get the types right; if they are wrong, it can
(as you observed) crash the server, which is why this action is
restricted to database superusers.
