You aren't supposed to specify a table name (nor alias) for a target
variable in a SET clause. It's useless (since you can't update more
than one table) and it's ambiguous because of the possibility of
composite fields. What you want is something like
UPDATE tag_data td SET usage_counter = td.usage_counter + 1 FROM ...
