Works for me:

regression=# create table foo(foo_col1 text);
CREATE
regression=# INSERT INTO foo(foo_col1) VALUES ('blahblah');
INSERT 1918283 1
regression=# create function doit(text) returns int as '
regression'# begin
regression'# INSERT INTO foo(foo_col1) VALUES ($1);
regression'# return 1;
regression'# end' language plpgsql;
CREATE
regression=# select doit('zzz');
doit
------
1
(1 row)

regression=# select * from foo;
foo_col1
----------
blahblah
zzz
(2 rows)

regression=#

What are you doing differently?
