I guess I should have quoted my full test result:

regression=# select zz_dump();
NOTICE:  Error occurred while executing PL/pgSQL function zz_dump
NOTICE:  line 6 at fetch
ERROR:  Memory exhausted in AllocSetContextCreate(8192)

The NOTICE makes it look like it was the FETCH that broke.  That kinda
surprises me though, as it implies that the problem is not really
related to the attempt to return a set.  Could it be that fetching into
a rowtype variable is broken in 7.2?  I wouldn't have thought so...
