Hmm. 600 memory context records are not nearly enough to explain
11MB in TopMemoryContext ... but on the other hand I'm quite sure that
your process crashed before printing all the entries (there's a pretty
standard ordering to them and the last ones that should be there
aren't). So we're still left with more questions than answers.

OK, so maybe it's dependent on the size of the table. Try generating a
test case by loading up just your schema + functions + a lot of dummy
entries generated by script.
Is the data proprietary? If not, maybe you could arrange to send me a
dump off-list. A short test-case script would be better, but let's not
waste huge amounts of person-time to save a few hours of downloading ...
