I really don't understand the origins of your arguments here. Why shouldn't a row lock caused by an UPDATE be relevant? It's currenty very hard to debug those, just as it's hard to debug tuple/row locks caused by explicit FOR SHARE/UPDATE/... And if your argument is that the message might be displayed when a explicit query cancel (statement timeout) instead of a deadlock_timeout arrives, so what? It's still correct, and important information? After all it seems to have waited long enough to get cancelled.
