Thanks for the test case. Unfortunately it works fine here:

regression=# select testtrig();
INFO: This is a test trigger
ERROR: cannot display a value of type trigger
regression=# LOAD '/home/tgl/testtrigger';
LOAD
regression=# select testtrig();
INFO: This is a test trigger
INFO: Uncomment me and recompile for new message
ERROR: cannot display a value of type trigger
regression=#

This is on RHL 8.0 on i386. What platform are you using exactly?

BTW, the file as given dumps core for me, because you have

> extern Datum trigf(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS);
> PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1(trigf);
> Datum testtrig(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)

and the V1 macro needs to reference testtrig not trigf. However I do
not think this is related to the LOAD problem.
