I guess mean the assignment of rowtype, that is, the
ExecAssignResultType() line. On looking at this some more, it looks like
we don't need to ExecAssignResultType here, as you seem to be suspecting,
because we want the RETURNING projection output to use the rowtype of the
first of returningLists and that's what mtstate->ps.ps_ResultTupleSlot has
been set to use in the first place. So, removed the ExecAssignResultType().

Attached v9. Thanks a for the review!
