You can't do that. CVS tip tells you so immediately:
ERROR: plpgsql functions cannot take type record
but I think 7.4 wouldn't notice until you try to execute the function.

You could declare the function as taking the specific rowtype of the
table, though:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION deny_namen_telefonverweise(Namen_Telefonverweise) RETURNS

Notice that the error message you're getting is specifically complaining
about the lack of such a function.
