Why when there is a figurae, figurae2 table does the follow give an error?

Look at INSERT .. SELECT statement:

I'm not asking for an alternative way to do it; I'm asking what is wrong with what I did?

I did rework it to an alternative syntax, but I wanted to
use the SET syntax so I could list all my old fields right
next to my new fields, so that I didn't have to
skip up and down 40 lines to see how I have them matched up.

So does INSERT ... SET ... work?  How?
