Well, I'll re-try with a revised function, but surely the database
could have come up with a more meaningful and insightful message than
the coded incomprehensible error message it did ?    I would say its
not only user error, its developer error too for creating such
confusing error messages !

Well actually you did yourself a disservice by including the EXCEPT code. That changed the error message. Taking that code out and running the failing function you get:

test-> validateSession('441122','10.11.12.13','abc',3600,3600);
ERROR:  column reference "session_id" is ambiguous
LINE 2: session_id=session_id and session_ip=client_ip
        ^
DETAIL:  It could refer to either a PL/pgSQL variable or a table column.
QUERY:  select *                   from app_val_session_vw where
session_id=session_id and session_ip=client_ip
CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function validatesession(character,inet,character,bigint,bigint) line 7 at SQL statement

I would say that is fairly specific:)
