Yes, but on ereport(ERROR, we don't come back right? The txn gets
aborted and the control is not returned to the caller instead it will
go to sigjmp_buf of the backend.

AFAICS, there will not be any impact on the caller, as the control
doesn't return to the caller on error.
And another good reason to remove the goto statements is that they
have return false; statements just to suppress the compiler and having
them after ereport(ERROR, doesn't make any sense to me.
duplicate_error:
ereport(ERROR,
(errcode(ERRCODE_SYNTAX_ERROR),
errmsg("conflicting or redundant options"),
parser_errposition(pstate, defel->location)));
return false; /* keep compiler quiet */
procedure_error:
ereport(ERROR,
(errcode(ERRCODE_INVALID_FUNCTION_DEFINITION),
errmsg("invalid attribute in procedure definition"),
parser_errposition(pstate, defel->location)));
return false;
