I suggest you should pretend that SQL's "SELECT INTO" doesn't exist.  If you want to create a table from a result write: "CREATE TABLE AS" and then a normal select query.  In particular the entire "action" command is kept whole instead of needing to put a bunch of column names in between the "SELECT" and the "INTO" - and you also are less likely to confuse the plpgsql feature of the same form.
