If a CREATE TABLE statement has redundant UNIQUE constraints, then an ALTER TABLE RENAME COLUMN fails.

CREATE TABLE t1(aaa, UNIQUE(aaA), UNIQUE(aAa), UNIQUE(aAA), CHECK(Aaa>0));
ALTER TABLE t1 RENAME aaa TO bbb; --- fails

The problem was detected by a fuzzer run by the Chrome developers. There have been no reports of this problem causing problems in the wild, perhaps because few applications have redundant UNIQUE constraints.
