returning void at or near "NULL" at character 148

Obtained this error creating a Function which contained 'RETURN NULL;' on

This error did not occur on 8.0.2 previously

ERROR:  RETURN cannot have a parameter in function returning void at or near
"NULL" at character 1488

Has something changed ... as validation was not previously picking this up
as an error?
