You forgot the attachments, but did you reindex the table itself, or its
toast table?  The former cannot fix this, the latter might possibly.

Easiest way to get the toast table name is
    select reltoastrelid::regclass from pg_class where relname = 'mytable';
(if you've got more than one table with the same name, obviously you
need to add a condition on schema as well).  You'll probably need to be
superuser to reindex it.
