The doc is wrong and you are right, good catch.  In the case of the
function logfunc2, the plpgsql parser assigns the value from 'now' by
using textout, then timestamp_in.  I'll go fix this one, tomorrow if
possible, but most likely the day after.  This error has existed for
22 years, since da63386 to be exact.
