Agreed.

Fixed.

Good catch. I think the current behavior is to call ANALYZE on
pg_statistic, too, but that should be mostly harmless (analyze_rel()
refuses to process it). I suppose we could try to avoid returning
pg_statistic from the catalog query, but we don't bother doing that for any
other vacuumdb modes, so I'm tempted to leave it alone.
