That's a bug, thanks for spotting it.

I tracked it down to caching the I/O functions for the return type. Your
example shows that you can't just discover the output record type once,
but you have to recheck whether the returned record's structure has not
changed between calls.

I implemented it by looping over the attributes of the output record and
checking if type for which we have already cached the I/O function is
binary coercible to the type that's actually in the record. This allows
the code to skip recaching the functions in the common case when the
record stays the same, and fixes the bug you found.

Attached is a new patch for table function support and an incremental
patch with the change I did. The new patch for table functions does not
apply to HEAD, it's a refinement of the previous table-functions patch.
After the refactor patches are all applied or rejected, I'll post a
frech patch that applies cleanly to HEAD.

Thanks again,
Jan
