Did you reach into pg_trigger and delete the record yourself, or did
a system bug cause the problem?

You'll need to tweak the table's pg_class entry so that its reltriggers
column shows the same number of triggers that are actually there for it
in pg_trigger.  A quick "UPDATE pg_class" should get you out of it.
