plpgsql is indeed not too friendly to this, but perhaps a SQL-language
function would serve.  That infrastructure seems to be okay with
wrapping a generic setof-record result:

regression=# \sf array_to_set
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.array_to_set(anyarray)
 RETURNS SETOF record
 LANGUAGE sql
 IMMUTABLE
AS $function$
  select i AS "index", $1[i] AS "value" from generate_subscripts($1, 1) i
$function$

regression=# create or replace function wrapper(anyarray)
RETURNS SETOF record LANGUAGE sql as
$$ select 1; select array_to_set($1); $$;
CREATE FUNCTION

regression=# select wrapper(array[44,55,66]);
 wrapper 
---------
 (1,44)
 (2,55)
 (3,66)
(3 rows)
