Hm, you don't need all the fancy partitioning stuff:

regression=# create table t as select generate_series(1,10) x;
SELECT 10
regression=# begin;
BEGIN
regression=# analyze t, t;
ERROR:  duplicate key value violates unique constraint "pg_statistic_relid_att_inh_index"
DETAIL:  Key (starelid, staattnum, stainherit)=(35836, 1, f) already exists.

It appears to work fine without the BEGIN:

regression=# analyze t, t;
ANALYZE

but then

regression=# begin;
BEGIN
regression=# analyze t, t;
ERROR:  tuple already updated by self

I think the conclusion is that if we aren't using per-table
transactions we'd better do a CommandCounterIncrement between
tables in vacuum()'s loop.
