This also isn't a proper bug report. If you've API questions you
shouldn't open bug reports, instead ask on the general mailing list or
such.

No, it shouldn't. It seems you're looking for ExecFetchSlotTupleDatum().

The bug reporting form is not a good way to discuss proposed code changes,
especially when you haven't shown any reason to think there is a bug.
Please instead start a thread on pgsql-hackers explaining why this would
be a good change to make.  (Offhand I'd think it would be a waste of
code, because anything going through the minimal-tuple code path is
just about guaranteed to be an anonymous record type anyway.)
