"When referencing a column with ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE, do not include the
table's name in the specification of a target column. For example, INSERT
INTO table_name ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE SET table_name.col = 1 is invalid
(this follows the general behavior for UPDATE)."

The same text exists for v11.
