Comment(by dustymugs):

 raster2pgsql does not have any connection to the database to verify that
 there is a raster (and the raster's attributes) to append to.  It would
 need access to the database to even check which raster the new band should
 be added to (especially for tiles).

 The lack of database connection is by design (specifically following the
 design and behavior of shp2pgsql).
