That's pretty odd --- I'm inclined to suspect index corruption.

Get rid of the duplicates (actually, I'd just blow away all the
pg_statistic entries for each of these tables) and *then* reindex.
Then re-analyze and see what happens.

Worst case you could just delete everything in pg_statistic, reindex it,
do a database-wide ANALYZE to repopulate it.  By definition there's not
any original data in that table...
