Yeah, when the update runs its not running under pgpsql so referencing
OLD wont work. Try something like (note completely untested):
qry := 'UPDATE '|| quote_ident(arg_table) ||
' SET userexc = current_user, dtalt = now() where '||
quote_literal(arg_id) ||' = '|| quote_literal(OLD.TG_ARGV[1]) ||';';
