There's a quite similar error check just a few lines above that prints

        elog(ERROR, "bogus varattno for subquery var: %d", var->varattno);

I'm not necessarily wedded to that exact phrasing, but I think these new
error messages should be consistent with that one.  I'm a bit inclined
to make all three of them read like

        elog(ERROR, "invalid attnum %d for table \"%s\"",
             attnum, rte->eref->aliasname);

Yeah, I can't get very excited about memorializing those.
