Applied to HEAD and 9.0.  The mistaken case will now yield this:

regression=# select string_agg(f1 order by f1, ',') from text_tbl;
ERROR:  function string_agg(text) does not exist
LINE 1: select string_agg(f1 order by f1, ',') from text_tbl;              ^
HINT:  No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need to add explicit type casts.

It's not perfect (I don't think it's practical to get the HINT to
read "Put the ORDER BY at the end" ;-)) but at least it should
get people pointed in the right direction when they do this.
        regards, tom lane
