"IMMUTABLE indicates that the function cannot modify the database and
always returns the same result when given the same argument values"

Emphasis on "always".  If the result of the function, given the same
argument values, can be different after a SET, then it doesn't qualify
for immutability.  At least, that's my understanding.
