The following testcase(extracted from a much much larger production code
sample) results in

WARNING: TupleDesc reference leak: TupleDesc 0xb3573b88 (2249,1) still
referenced
CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function "foo" line 4 at block variables initialization
ERROR: tupdesc reference 0xb3573b88 is not owned by resource owner Portal
CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function "foo" while casting return value to
function's return type

on 8.2 and -HEAD.

8.1 seems to work fine.
