The main leak (the whole-Relation one) only applies to entries for certain
system catalogs. The smaller leak would apply to any relation having
DEFAULT column values --- but it's fairly hard to see how any table would
get invalidated so many times in one query as to make that leak an issue,
unless you were doing CLOBBER_CACHE or similar stress testing.

Yeah, a context stats dump would help a lot here.
