This is simply throwing away the results of the recursive call.
If you are trying to append those results to the outer call's
results, maybe do this:

    FOR rec in select * from foo
               where foo.pid=pid LOOP
            return next rec;
            raise warning ''uid=% pid=%'',rec.uid,rec.pid;
        FOR rec2 in select * from foo (rec.uid) LOOP
        return next rec2;
        END LOOP;
    END LOOP;
    return null;
