No. Where did you get that from, perhaps the manual needs to be clearer?

The place to look is:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/runtime-config-logging.html#RU
NTIME-CONFIG-LOGGING-WHAT

set log_statement to 'all' and it will log everything, including
SELECTs.

But this will include statements that succeed as well, not just those
who fails.

Yes, if you want to log only queries that fail, log_min_error_statement
is the correct switch to use.

If you set it to ERROR, you will get a log of every statement that
causes an ERROR or FATAL.
If you set it to WARNING, you will get a log of every statement that
acuses WARNING, ERROR or FATAL.
etc etc for the other values.

In this case, you'll want ERROR or possibly WARNING.
