A quick follow-on with more info to my own post.
The culprit in my case was a local trigger firing on INSERTs using
dblink_exec() without 'host=127.0.0.1'. Bad news though, even _with_
'host=127.0.0.1' the connections do not idle timeout. They just hang
around waiting for the rapture.
So,... this appears to be dblink related after all. I'll be trying
explicit open/exec/close. Weird that dblink_exec in a trigger doesn't
release resources.
