Any such code is broken on its face because of localization. Perhaps including the relname in the main message would make it unduly long, but if not I'd vote for doing it that way.
Agreed.
Is there value in showing which snapshot as well? Something like:
DETAIL: snapshot <xyz> is too old to access relation <relation>
Putting both those into the main message will probably make it too long.
