Seems that this circumverts some output conversion error checking, since
adding the attached to the regression suite results in a segfault during
the plperl installcheck.

Reverting 2d01ec0708d571eef926f3f5795aa73759df5d9a fixes it. Noticed
while fooling around with plpython and hitting a similar error (since
plpython does have a regression test for trigger functions being called
directly).
