I think you're probably hitting a problem with a table being deleted
while you're scanning pg_class. pg_relation_size() will fail if the
given OID isn't valid "now" --- but the underlying query returns all
OIDs that were valid when the transaction or statement snapshot was
taken. So you have a race condition.
You might consider excluding temp tables from the query, if that's the
most likely source of the problem.
