Now that I look at it, pg_tables is not a join in 7.2, but just a
straight select from pg_class.  So the problem is definitely in
pg_class.  Let's see the results of

select ctid,xmin,xmax,oid,* from pg_class where relname = 'vm_message';

and similarly for the other duplicates.

Hm.  Trying to avoid theorizing in advance of the data...
