Hmm --- clearly, that second xmin is corrupt.  I'd venture that this
is the result of a rolled-back (crashed?) ALTER USER SET PASSWORD
operation, in which somehow the new tuple's xmin got clobbered ... and
more than likely, its XMIN_COMMITTED bit got set at the same time.

You could manually delete either row, probably better to zap the second
one:
        delete from pg_shadow where ctid = '(1,25)';
and then things should be OK.  A dump and reload wouldn't be a bad idea
though, since there may be other corruption elsewhere that you haven't
noticed yet.
