I think that you have the right idea here, avoiding the duplication
of the errdetail() which feels itchy when looking at the patch. This
should have a note for translators that this field refers to a file
name. The point is that we don't lose any context if we do a "control
file" => pg_control update in the errdetail().
This would also make the proposed patch simpler.
