Currently the compiled body is not discarded on DDL's, so I believe it is not a bug as per current implementation.
Howeverit can be thought of as a new feature.

thatafter a DDL, you reconnect sessions which use functions. I know this is not good workaround, but I am sorry
nothingelse comes to my mind for now.
Anybody else can think of any other better workarounds for this problem?
