Just for the record I had strange errors too on beta1 - when playing 
with creating/deleting/altering tables and savepoints(not sure if that 
is related anyhow).
I had it once two times in a row, but when I tried to build a testcase 
to report this issue I couldn't reproduce it again :-(

iirc the error I got was something along the line of:

ERROR:  catalog is missing 1 attribute(s) for relid 17231
