After further digging around, I wonder whether this test wasn't
somehow related to the issue described in
https://postgr.es/m/2321.1557263978@sss.pgh.pa.us
That doesn't completely make sense, since the restriction on
relkind should render it moot whether IsCatalogClass thinks
that a toast table is a catalog table, but maybe there's a link?
