It's possible that the language owner is changed in the meantime (in
pg_pltemplate). Since the owner cannot be changed from the "CREATE OR
REPLACE" syntax, a modified owner in the template table is the only
possibility where a new owner can came from. If "CREATE LANGUAGE"
find's a language entry in pg_pltemplate, it drops any data from the
commandline and uses the data from the template - so a new owner is
something which should be distributed along with the REPLACE.
