Comment(by dustymugs):

 As pramsey indicates, this is a subtle bug. The interaction between
 PG_PARSER_ERROR() and PG_RETURN_NULL() somehow works around the issue.
 What's super strange is that if you were to try...

 {{{
 PG_PARSER_ERROR(lwg_parser_result);
 elog(NOTICE, "I'm a little teapot");
 PG_RETURN_NULL();
 }}}

 the NOTICE will not fire.

 I can't seem to find a way to run a debugger with EDB and PostGIS which is
 quite... annoying... more experimenting to do... maybe substitute the
 actual code for the macros.
