Nothing that I can see.  I copied and pasted this trigger into current
sources and it worked fine.  Ditto for your other example.

There must be something pretty broken about your copy of plpgsql;
dunno what exactly.  I'd recommend updating to 7.0.2 and then seeing
if the problem persists.  If it does we can dig deeper.
