The exact error message might tell us more than "seems to want."
I wrote a test program similar to yours and got the following error
when I ran ecpg:

curstest.pgc:23: ERROR: trying to access an undeclared cursor testcurs

I moved the function that declares the cursor to earlier in the
file so it came before the function that used the cursor. The
program then compiled and ran fine using 8.0.0rc5.
