Functions that return composite types are called more times than expected.
Example script:
---------------
begin;
create table composite_types_test (
a integer,
b integer,
c integer,
d integer,
e integer,
f integer,
g integer,
h integer,
i integer,
j integer
);
insert into composite_types_test values (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9);
create function bug_function () returns composite_types_test
volatile
language plpgsql
as $$
declare r composite_types_test;
begin
select * into r from composite_types_test;
raise notice 'in bug_function';
return r;
end;
$$;
select bug_function();
select (bug_function()).*;
rollback;

Example Output:
---------------
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE
INSERT 0 1
CREATE FUNCTION
psql:sql/bug_example.sql:30: NOTICE: in bug_function
bug_function=20=20=20=20=20=20
