Note that that's going through "simple query" protocol (which is why
it says "statement:") but your application is evidently using "extended
query" protocol (because you see "execute ...:", at least when it's
working correctly). I wonder whether the explanation is somewhere in
that.
The best theory I have at the moment, though, is that something is taking
exclusive locks on system catalogs, blocking parsing of even trivial
statements.
