Sorry, I found there are no memory leak here. The related comment is:
[execnodes.h]
 *	CurrentMemoryContext should be set to ecxt_per_tuple_memory before
 *	calling ExecEvalExpr() --- see ExecEvalExprSwitchContext().
I guess CurrentMemoryContext in Iterate callback a per-tuple context.
So, we don't have to xport cstate->estate via GetCopyExecutorState().

ExecStoreVirtualTuple() seems to be better than the combination of
heap_form_tuple() and ExecStoreTuple() for the purpose. Could you try
to use slot->tts_values and slot->tts_isnull for NextCopyFrom() directly?
