vacuum analyze doesn't unfreeze pg_class.  It could create unfrozen
tuples in pg_statistic, perhaps, but we could easily fix that by
truncating pg_statistic afterwards (its not like there will be useful
data there...)

The end goal is going to be to have all this work happen in a standalone
backend, rather than risk firing up the postmaster while the database is
in an unstable state.  So I would counsel spending as little effort as
possible on filing off rough edges that are related to the
using-a-postmaster scenario.
