Yeah, you can't return or goto out of the PG_TRY part.

This should be OK. The PG_CATCH and PG_FINALLY macros are set up so that
we've fully restored that state *before* we execute any of the
error-handling code. It would be basically impossible to have a guarantee
that CATCH blocks never throw errors; they'd be so restricted as to be
near useless, like signal handlers.
