Yes, it is the correct OID. No, nothing done to the schema in parallel,
although there is a process that disables/re-enables triggers and rules
on that table via pg_class tweaking (inside a txn, of course).

Yeah, that's the first thing I thought of, but it's definitely not
being dropped and recreated.

Argh, that will have to be a last resort measure, as this is a
production system. Have not been able to duplicate yet on a dev
box, but will look into adding the abort() for when/if I can
duplicate it there. Thanks everyone.
