Well, my idea of how to fix that would be the other way 'round.

No, it is not required.  What they should be doing is #define'ing
PG_KEYWORD() in a way that ignores its second argument.  See pg_dump's
keywords.c for an example of safe usage.

that we've broken ABI anytime we make a minor change in the grammar.
I repeat: it's a SERIOUSLY bad idea.
