There it is.  These are similar steps as I'd used to track down a bug
that's now fixed in 11.1.

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/9cb4aa1c-12ba-59c3-fd75-545fa90fb92f%40lab.ntt.co.jp

The bug had to do with foreign key trigger not getting a proper
representation of the tuple being deleted, considering the newly added column.

Ah, VACUUM FULL will rewrite the tuples such that they're not hit by the
aforementioned bug.

So, if OP can tell that this is what happened in their case too, then 11.1
will have fixed the issue.

Thanks,
Amit
