I believe when updating the GucContext enum, it is also necessary to
update the GucContext_names [] in backend/utils/misc/help_config.c.
The need to do this was supposed to be added as a comment to the guc.h
file, right about where GucContext is defined, but it seems as if that
part of the patch was not applied.
From the original patch "Patch for listing runtime option details
through server executable (pg_guc)", dated "30 Jun 2003 16:43:13 -0400":

PGC_INTERNAL,
This patch was modified before being applied ... was there a reason that
this part of the patch was not applied? One of the modifications made
when applying the patch was to change the names of some of the files ...
in the above excerpt pg_guc.c would have to change to help_config.c.
Thanks,
