IMO at least the GUC one does fix a problem related to the wording of a
user-visible message, which also flows into the translations. I prefer
to have that one fixed it in 15 also. The other messages (errors) don't
seem very interesting because they're not as visible, so I don't care if
those are not backpatched.
