The dependency logic failed to register a column-level dependency when a view or rule contains a reference to a specific column of the result of a function-returning-composite. That meant you could drop the column from the composite type, causing trouble for future executions of the view. We've known about this for years, but never summoned the energy to actually fix it, instead installing various low-level defenses to prevent crashing on references to dropped columns. We had to do that to plug the hole in stable branches, where there might be pre-existing broken references; but let's fix the root cause today. To do that, add some logic (borrowed from get_rte_attribute_is_dropped) to find_expr_references_walker, to check whether a Var referencing an RTE_FUNCTION RTE is referencing a column of a composite type, and if so add the proper dependency. However ... it seems mighty unwise to remove said low-level defenses, since there could be other bugs now or in the future that allow reaching them. By the same token, letting those defenses go untested seems unwise. Hence, rather than just dropping the associated test cases, hack them to continue working by the expedient of manually dropping the pg_depend entries that this fix installs. Back-patch into v15. I don't want to risk changing this behavior in stable branches, but it seems not too late for v15. (Since we have already forced initdb for beta3, we can be sure that all production v15 installations will have these added dependencies.)
