After further thought, we could possibly make it work for BEFORE
triggers, but there's just no way for AFTER triggers: in that case what
you are getting is an image of what went to disk, which is going to
contain transaction info not type info.
If you really want the trigger API for PL/R to be indistinguishable from
the function-call API, then I think you will need to copy the passed
tuple and insert type information. This is more or less what
ExecEvalVar does now in the whole-tuple case (the critical code is
actually in heap_getsysattr though):
HeapTupleHeader dtup;
dtup = (HeapTupleHeader) palloc(tup->t_len);
memcpy((char *) dtup, (char *) tup->t_data, tup->t_len);
HeapTupleHeaderSetDatumLength(dtup, tup->t_len);
HeapTupleHeaderSetTypeId(dtup, tupleDesc->tdtypeid);
HeapTupleHeaderSetTypMod(dtup, tupleDesc->tdtypmod);
result = PointerGetDatum(dtup);
