I found a way to reword the paragraph to be clearer about its purpose:

   When querying the database for constraint information, it is possible
   for a standard-compliant query that expects to return one row to
   return several.  This is because the SQL standard requires constraint
   names to be unique within a schema, but
   <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> does not enforce this
   restriction.  <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>
   automatically-generated constraint names avoid duplicates in the
   same schema, but users can specify such duplicate names.

Applied.
