Hm.  Using the following functions based on the code of above, I can
see the following numbers if I place some trackers (elog(WARNING)
entries) at the beginning of each callback part of plpgsql_check.c to
measure how many times a callback is done:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.f2()
RETURNS void
LANGUAGE plpgsql
AS $$
DECLARE x int;
BEGIN
  x := 2;
  RETURN;
END;
$$;
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.f3()
RETURNS void
LANGUAGE plpgsql
AS $$
DECLARE x int;
BEGIN
  BEGIN
    x := 3;
    RETURN;
    END;
  END
$$;

On HEAD, for plpgsql_check_function_tb('f2()'):
- stmt_beg is called 4 times.
- stmt_end is called 3 times.
- func_setup is called 2 times.
- func_beg is called 2 times.
- func_end is called 2 times.
For plpgsql_check_function_tb('f3()'):
- stmt_beg is called 3 times.
- stmt_end is called 3 times.
- func_setup is called 1 time.
- func_beg is called 1 time.
- func_end is called 2 times.

So based on the previous example f2 gets over f3 one extra stmt_beg,
one extra func_beg and one extra func_setup.

With patched HEAD, I got for f2:
- stmt_beg is called 6 times.
- stmt_end is called 5 times.
- func_setup is called 2 times.
- func_beg is called 2 times.
- func_end is called 2 times.
And for f3:
- stmt_beg is called 6 times.
- stmt_end is called 5 times.
- func_setup is called 2 times.
- func_beg is called 2 times.
- func_end is called 2 times.
