I did some digging and found the commit that changed the behaviour:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2004-09/msg00155.php and
then later Tom fixed a bug in it:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2005-10/msg00316.php
According to the latter commit, not updating the snapshot could be
preferable for EXPLAIN ANALYZE, but I don't see why this is. Maybe we
should wait until we hear from Tom?
