Ok i'll dig around.
I spoke with the developer, he claims not to have done anything to the DB. so i don't
know how to reproduce the state. (but i do get the error every time i use pg_dump on
the DB). it seems that this DB is mainly used as a target for junit testing.
Also, i don't know if this is related but I'm seeing quite a few:

It seems like a system process is reporting it, i tried to vacuum all of my DBs to try to
narrow down which DB it's in - didn't generate the error.
I suppose it's possible that the process is fixing the data and then it gets broken again.
Any pointers would be helpful!
Thanks
Dave
