Thanks. This looks now correct to me. Except that:
+           ereport(ERROR,
+               (errcode(ERRCODE_FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED),
+                errmsg("column lists cannot have duplicate entries"),
+                errhint("the column list specified for relation
\"%s\" contains duplicates",
+                   relation->relation->relname)));
This should use ERRCODE_DUPLICATE_COLUMN.

I can see that. Nicely spotted.
