I'm not convinced that this adds enough clarity to assist the user.  We also
shouldn't use "error" in a WARNING log since the user has explicitly asked to
skip rows on error, so it's not an error per se. How about something like:

  ereport(WARNING,
          (errmsg("%ld rows were skipped due to data type incompatibility", cstate->ignored_errors),
           errhint("Skipped rows can be inspected in the database log for reprocessing.")));
