- Please be more specific.  What are the bad entries exactly (what values,
- in which columns of what catalogs) and what do you mean by "there are
- correct entries as well"?

pg_class has 5 relname entries associated with a relnamespace (58698) that doesn't exist in pg_namespace.

Those relname entries corrispond to 2 tables and their PKs and a sequence (for the PK of one of the tables).

Those objects do have valid entries in pg_class as well (they point to a different relnamespace)

Is that more clear?

- Hm.  We have seen occasional reports of drop cascade failing to delete

I agree!
