No, it's because of careless choice of plpgsql variable names.

Not being exceedingly bright, plpgsql will attempt to substitute its
variable into all three matches in this command. Two of those are
of course wrong and lead to syntax errors.
First rule of plpgsql programming: do not use plpgsql variable names
that duplicate any of the SQL-level names (tables, columns, functions,
etc) you intend to use in the function.
