Looks like you are seeing this known problem and TODO entry:

        o Diagnose problem where shared memory can sometimes not be
          attached by postmaster children

          http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2007-08/msg01377.php

It is a rare problem and we have been unable to find a fix.
