Does that actually match the tupdesc you're using? Are you sure you
created the Datum correctly (ie, did you call the appropriate datatype
input routine)?

BTW, the BlessTupleDesc call here seems to be pure cargo-cult
programming. It should not be necessary to bless a relation's tupdesc
(because that should be a named type already); and even if it were,
heap_form_tuple doesn't care.
