I'd argue that you have max_stack_depth set to an invalid value (higher
than your true stack limit). I tried your example here on 8.1.5 and got
this:

alvherre=# \i foo
CREATE TABLE
psql:foo:2: ERROR: stack depth limit exceeded
HINT: Increase the configuration parameter "max_stack_depth".
DROP TABLE
