I think you're misunderstanding where to put the WITH. That's just
part of the SQL statement as far as plpgsql is concerned, so what
you need to do to use a WITH clause in a variable assignment is
to write
variable := WITH ... SELECT ... ;
(At least, I think that will work; what you're doing definitely
won't.)
