I get

regression=# update t1 set set a = 500 where set.a > 1000;
ERROR:  syntax error at or near "a" at character 19
LINE 1: update t1 set set a = 500 where set.a > 1000;

I think possibly you put the %nonassoc entry in the wrong place --- it
has to go someplace before the UMINUS entry to get the desired effect.
My fault for putting up a non-context diff.
