Thanks for the test case --- I've committed a patch:

That's a fairly bad workaround (assuming that the function is a
legitimate candidate to be IMMUTABLE) because it defeats potential
optimizations.

What I'd suggest you do instead is rethink your apparently widespread
habit of whacking your view definitions around on-the-fly.  This would
never have worked at all before PG 8.3 (and as you can see we still have
some bugs left in supporting it in 8.3 :-().  Even when it does work,
there is a whole lot of frantic paddling going on just under the
surface.  We may sail serenely on like the swan, but not very speedily
