I think you're missing something. Or are you just proposing that we
could save one palloc per Bind operation? Trust me, that ain't worth
worrying about. In any case the number of parameters appearing in Bind
could be different from the number appearing in the statement --- the
fact that that's an error doesn't allow you to not process the message
before complaining.

Sounds highly bug-prone to me ... especially in the case where the
preceding execution didn't complete normally ...
