Just successfully loading an old-style C function doesn't guarantee that it works anyway. I pointed out before that the changes due to TOAST require each function that takes arguments of varlen types to expect toasted values. Worst case a dump might reload and anything works fine, but a month later the first toasted value appears and the old-style C function corrupts the data without a single warning. We need to WARN, WARN and explicitly WARN users of selfmade C functions about this in any possible place!
