We'd need to postpone that processing till parse analysis, else we still
have the underlying problem. Fortunately we are not parsing C ;-) so
it seems to me it shouldn't be necessary to do any table lookups during
initial parsing...

I assume you are looking at the 'setof' processing? Offhand it seems to
me that this code is broken anyway: use of a relation type should refer
to the tuple type, but should *not* imply SETOF, at least IMHO.
