In the following code from hstore_io.c, is HStore a varlena? In which case is the following code buggy because it omits to subtract VARHDRSZ from in->size and therefore is not handling the empty hstore and also starting the loop from the varlena header instead of the first data byte?
Or if HStore is not a varlena then PG_GETARG_HS is buggy since it calls PG_DETOAST_DATUM() on the argument.
