When client_min_messages set that high, the server never reports the
error.  So the ODBC driver cannot do much about it; at best, it could
report something like "I do not know the status", but that is not
actually possible in the ODBC API.

Setting "client_min_messages = fatal" literally means "I do not want to
know about normal errors."

This is an error in the documentation.
I've submitted a bug report: <https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/15479-ef0f4cc2fd995ca2%40postgresql.org>
