In execute_extension_script():

    /*
     * Similarly disable check_function_bodies, to ensure that SQL functions
     * won't be parsed during creation.
     */
    if (check_function_bodies)
        (void) set_config_option("check_function_bodies", "off",
                                 PGC_USERSET, PGC_S_SESSION,
                                 GUC_ACTION_SAVE, true, 0, false);

I wondered if we should reconsider that, but I'm afraid we'd be more
likely to break working extensions than to do anything helpful.
An extension author who wants that can do what I did in the patch's
test cases: manually turn check_function_bodies on in the extension
script.
