Is this function operating by documented design? I've perused the SQL
manuals on this, but cannot seem to find a definitive description.

I don't know if it's documented but the observed behaviour is what I would expect. An access plan is created based on the evaluated SQL statement before any data is retrieved. That plan does not change as a result of any fetched data. However, once that SQL statement completes then if you rerun it it will use the current value of the host variable and different records will be retrieved.

This sort of thing needs to be done with dynamic SQL thus:
declare
open
fetch
close

and is usually better served by native I/O.
