PL/pgSQL scans all partitions at first time per each new session

Problem description

PL/pgSQL scans all partitions at first time per each new session.

prepare enviroment

CREATE TABLE journal (
    id      SERIAL,
    dt      TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
    level   INTEGER,
    msg     TEXT);

INSERT INTO journal (dt, level, msg)
SELECT g, random() * 6, md5(g::text)
FROM generate_series('2015-01-01'::date, '2015-01-05'::date, '1 hour') as g;

SELECT create_range_partitions('journal', 'dt', '2015-01-01'::date, '1 day'::interval);

Tests

Make ACCESS EXCLUSIVE for one table in separate transaction:

begin;
lock table journal_2 in ACCESS EXCLUSIVE mode;

SQL-request is good:

SELECT * FROM journal WHERE dt >= '2015-01-05';

"Append (cost=0.00..20.70 rows=1070 width=49)" " -> Seq Scan on journal_5 (cost=0.00..20.70 rows=1070 width=48)"

PL/pgSQL request is strange:

create or replace function test()
returns void
language plpgsql
as $function$
begin
	perform * FROM journal WHERE dt >= '2015-01-05';
end;
$function$;

select test();

It'll be wait until the lock for journal_2 is released Note: if release the lock and lock again, then execute function test() again in the same session, then everything will be good. The request won't be wait the lock release.
