Yeah, you're right. I didn't believe that theory at first because
the line number reference didn't point at the line with %ROWTYPE ...
but upon digging into it I find that plpgsql's code for determining
the line number to report is flat wrong for this case. (I've committed
a quick fix into CVS tip, but I wonder whether the whole mechanism
shouldn't be rethought. Calling plpgsql_scanner_lineno() all over the
place doesn't seem real clean.)

That's what I'd try. We don't consider that declaring a cursor creates
a named rowtype ... I'm surprised that Oracle seems to think it does.
