Hi Frank, Yes, I am modernizing some of the testing scripts for PostGISRaster, and adding write support in the near future. I've been in touch with and am coordinating with Jorge.
I think it was just the test script that used the old name, btw. The driver is truly called "PostGISRaster", just the test script wasn't up-to-date.
