I tried working around this by adding underscores to my parameter names, but the parameter names are used in the pgx CopyFrom statement instead of the proper column names.

For example, if I use sqlc.arg(user_) it compiles fine, but the resulting code:

func (q *Queries) StageUserData(ctx context.Context, arg []StageUserDataParams) (int64, error) {
	return q.db.CopyFrom(ctx, []string{"user_data"}, []string{"id", "user_"}, &iteratorForStageUserData{rows: arg})
}

is incorrect - the insert statement defines the columns as id and user not id and user_.

☝️ this is a separate issue I will be filing here: #2833

user is a reserved keyword in PostgreSQL. To get around this limitation, put user in single quotes.

-- name: StageUserData :copyfrom
insert into "user_data" ("id", "user")
values (sqlc.arg('id'), sqlc.arg('user'));
