In an already-loaded database, I think the following should work:

UPDATE pg_language SET lanvalidator = 'plpgsql_validator'::regproc
WHERE lanname = 'plpgsql';

I'd recommend wrapping the update in a transaction and making sure
only one record was updated before committing.

Tom (or anybody else), are there any gotchas with updating pg_language
like this?  It works for me in simple tests.
