When filing a bug report, it's a good idea to provide both a self-
contained test case and a mention of what PG version you're using.

I guess from the ROW() syntax you used here, which isn't accepted pre-v10,
that you're using 10.0 or later, but that's not specific enough.

I tried to duplicate this problem using the attached script, but it
works for me.

FWIW, that error message definitely looks like a bug, but I can't
tell whether it's an already-fixed bug or there's some triggering
detail you didn't mention.
