FWIW, I just tried to repeat this on cvs tip and could not. Seems to work just 
fine:

regression=# create table foo(bsvr_no character varying(10),yyn_tur character 
varying(1),yyn_no numeric,yyn_syf numeric,yyn_trh date);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# insert into foo values('a','a','1.0','1.0',now()::date);
INSERT 556825 1
regression=# copy foo to stdout;
a       a       1.0     1.0     2002-11-30
regression=# copy foo(bsvr_no) to stdout;
a
regression=# copy foo(bsvr_no,yyn_tur,yyn_no,yyn_syf,yyn_trh) to stdout;
a       a       1.0     1.0     2002-11-30
regression=# insert into foo values('a','a','1.0','1.0',null);
INSERT 556826 1
regression=# copy foo(bsvr_no,yyn_tur,yyn_no,yyn_syf,yyn_trh) to stdout;
a       a       1.0     1.0     2002-11-30
a       a       1.0     1.0     \N
