The root-cause analysis is correct, but I don't think that the fix is
the right way to go, because if we modified pgstat_report_analyze() to
report more ANALYZE stats, we would need to modify the
ImportForeignStatistics API as well, which isn't great.  To avoid
that, how about calling pgstat_report_analyze() in
postgresImportForeignStatistics(), like the attached?  (Actually, I
designed the API as something we entirely replace do_analyze_rel()
with.)  I modified the test case as well.

Sorry for the delay.

Best regards,
