Yes, inside a single query it should probably be ok, but I'm talking about multiple query execution in the same transaction.
I tested it now. a sinval message is waiting on the transaction end. So when a variable is used, then it is working fine until the transaction ends.
But when the session makes some DDL, then send sinval to self, and at this moment, the variable can be dropped before the transaction ends.
So to be safe, the lock is required. I'll do it tomorrow.
