Have you looked at the autovacuum log output in more detail? It might
be possible to debug further, but looks like there are no XIDs to work
off of in the log_line_prefix that's in use on wrasse.

The CITester log_line_prefix is pretty useful -- I wonder if we can
standardize on that within the buildfarm, too.
