This is functioning as designed and documented.  The first two
sentences of the documentation of SQL functions are:
 
| SQL functions execute an arbitrary list of SQL statements,
| returning the result of the last query in the list. In the simple
| (non-set) case, the first row of the last query's result will be
| returned.
