It was never a good idea to use TRUNCATE inside a function -- you were
living dangerously using it inside one in 7.2. The only change in 7.3
TRUNCATE is no longer allowed.

Note that in current sources (and therefore in 7.4 when it's been
released), Rod Taylor has improved the TRUNCATE implementation to be
transaction-safe, so the restriction has been lifted.
