Hi.

| FOR PORTION OF ColId FROM a_expr TO a_expr
    {
        ForPortionOfClause *n = makeNode(ForPortionOfClause);
        n->range_name = $4;
        n->location = @4;
        n->target_start = $6;
        n->target_end = $8;
        n->target_location = @5;
        $$ = (Node *) n;
    }

n->target_location = @5;

Should be

n->target_location = @6;

It's not reachable because of queries like:

UPDATE for_portion_of_test
  FOR PORTION OF valid_at FROM NULL TO NULL
  SET name = 'NULL to NULL';

won't reach
ereport(ERROR,
        (errmsg("FOR PORTION OF target was null")),
        executor_errposition(estate, forPortionOf->targetLocation));

typedef struct ForPortionOfClause
{
    NodeTag        type;
    char       *range_name;        /* column name of the range/multirange */
    ParseLoc    location;        /* token location, or -1 if unknown */
    ParseLoc    target_location;    /* token location, or -1 if unknown */
    Node       *target;            /* Expr from FOR PORTION OF col
(...) syntax */
    Node       *target_start;    /* Expr from FROM ... TO ... syntax */
    Node       *target_end;        /* Expr from FROM ... TO ... syntax */
} ForPortionOfClause;

Generally, we place ParseLoc at the end of the node, putting it
elsewhere should be fine.
But here, we have two comments, ``/* token location, or -1 if unknown */``.
The "token" is ambiguous, perhaps it's worth the trouble to enhance it?

I think the existing code is fine.  The target consists of the start and 
the end value.  If we pointed to @6 then one could be confused into 
thinking that only the start value is meant.
