I would say that if a volatile function in the argument crashes things,
that's an executor bug.  You won't get any sympathy from me for
complaints about whether contain_volatile_functions noticed that,
because *immutability markings can be lies*.  It is not acceptable
to crash if they're wrong.

It looks to me like maybe we could just remove the Assert and do

-	if (peraggstate->transValueCount == 1)
+	if (peraggstate->transValueCount < 2)

a few lines further down?  I've not dug into the details though.
