Yeah, this is a bug.  I think what happened is:

1. Simon committed his patch to reduce lock levels.
2. Robert copied that lock level in his commit  4240e429d0c2d889d0cda23c618f94e12c13ade7 that refactored use  of
RangeVarGetRelid.
3. When I reverted most of Simon's change, it didn't occur to me to  look for places that had copied the bad lock
levels--- I was  just looking at what his patch had done.
 

I will fix this, and also do some looking to see if the bogus lock
levels propagated anywhere else...
