If mutable IN parameters were allowed, I don't even think it could be allowable to call them from the SQL level, you could only from another function. For instance, what would it mean if you did something like: SELECT foo(a) FROM mytable; Where foo() mutated it's IN argument? Would that really be an UPDATE?
No, surely the mutated value will only be visible within the scope of the function, i.e. it will be a purely local copy that gets altered.
