Comment (by strk):

 The problem seems to be that pg_get_function_arguments fail when passed
 the OID of some function having a non-existent probin (but not for all of
 them).

 Example:
 {{{
 NOTICE:  Success calling pg_get_function_arguments for oid 22100136
 (st_locatebetweenelevations(geometry,double precision,double precision)):
 geometry geometry, fromelevation double precision, toelevation double
 precision
 NOTICE:  Success calling pg_get_function_arguments for oid 22100137
 (st_interpolatepoint(geometry,geometry)): line geometry, point geometry
 NOTICE:  Failed calling pg_get_function_arguments for oid 22100138
 (st_hexagon(double precision,integer,integer,geometry))
 NOTICE:  Success calling pg_get_function_arguments for oid 22100251
 (geometry_spgist_inner_consistent_3d(internal,internal)): internal,
 internal
 }}}

 I wonder what's special about, for example, ST_Hexagon, which does not
 affect others.

 These are actually the ONLY function for which pg_get_function_arguments
 raises an exception:
 {{{
 NOTICE:  Failed calling pg_get_function_arguments for oid 22099491
 (st_angle(geometry,geometry,geometry,geometry))
 NOTICE:  Failed calling pg_get_function_arguments for oid 22099549
 (st_tileenvelope(integer,integer,integer,geometry,double precision))
 NOTICE:  Failed calling pg_get_function_arguments for oid 22100138
 (st_hexagon(double precision,integer,integer,geometry))
 NOTICE:  Failed calling pg_get_function_arguments for oid 22100139
 (st_square(double precision,integer,integer,geometry))
 }}}
