I only meant that the specific error code ERRCODE_SYNTAX_ERROR is wrong here.

The query has valid syntax, and the failure happens later when looking up the
property name in the property graph, so ERRCODE_UNDEFINED_OBJECT still looked
like the best fit, also for consistency with transformLabelExpr().
