Ok, that's weird. If I run your script no error at all occurs here using a
Windows-version from 2013-05-02. Despite the fact that both series are
almost perfectly correlated.
If I use the catch command in my actual dataset gretl does not produce a
matrix with three columns holding the point estimates and the CIs.
Actually, should gretl generate a three-column matrix if I use the "catch"
command in case of excess collinearity ignoring the error, or should it
just prevent termination by jumping to the next task?

Maybe. Not sure it's worthwhile though.

Strange. I'm trying this:
<hansl>
open data9-7
series X = UNEMP + 0.1*normal()
var 4 UNEMP X
catch matrix m = irf(1, 2, 0.2)
if $error
print "error: got here"
else
print "no error"
endif
</hansl>
Here the VAR prints OK; the irf() call prints "Excessive
collinearity in resampled datasets"; and the $error clause
prints "error: got here".
