I know zip about ECPG, but I'd think a more likely bet is

	EXEC SQL SELECT * INTO :record FROM get_foo(1);
or
	EXEC SQL SELECT * FROM get_foo(1) INTO :record;

depending on what your theology is about the placement of INTO.  The
point is that a function returning setof-record is a table source and
should appear in FROM.
