This is an interesting report, but without enough information to replicate
the problem, we're unlikely to be able to help you.  A fragment of a
query, with zero information about the underlying tables, is far from
enough.

The only occurrences of the string "unknown error" that I can find in the
source code are in dblink and postgres_fdw (both reflecting cases where
the remote server did not return an error message, itself a "shouldn't
happen" situation).  If you were using either, you didn't say so; but if
you were, maybe taking a look in the remote server's log would be useful.
