There is no server-side behavior that would cause that query to show you
a large object's contents instead of its identifying number. I suppose
that you have some client-side code that does something magic when it
sees a result column of type "lo", and that for some reason this code
is not successfully recognizing the case where the column is coming out
of a function. Since you've shown us neither the troublesome query
nor the client-side code, it's hard to speculate further than that.
