Array from INSERT .. RETURNING in plpgsql?

Ok, so the following works:

pagila=# select array(select s.i from generate_series(1, 10) s(i));          ?column?  ------------------------
{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}           (1 row)

but this doesn't:

pagila=# create or replace function testfun() returns void as $$
declare    vals int[];    query text;
begin    query := 'insert into test select s.i from generate_series(1,10)  
s(i) returning i;';    execute query into vals;    raise notice 'vals dim: %', array_upper(vals, 1);    raise notice
'vals[3]:%', vals[3];
 
end;
$$ language plpgsql;
CREATE FUNCTION
Time: 3.319 ms
pagila=# select testfun();
ERROR:  array value must start with "{" or dimension information
CONTEXT:  PL/pgSQL function "testfun" line 6 at execute statement

Is there any way to do what I'm trying without explicity looping over  
the results of the insert?
