I pushed a fix for that, but I think it must be unrelated to the
buildfarm failures we're seeing.  For that coding to be a problem,
it would have to run concurrently with a VACUUM FULL or CLUSTER
on pg_statistic_ext_data (which would give all the tuples new TIDs).
AFAICS that won't happen with the tests that are giving trouble.
