Hmm.  This looks suspiciously like the sort of problems that arise if
you try to roll back a DROP TABLE, ie,

        begin;
        drop table foo;
        abort;

which leaves the catalog rows for 'foo' still valid, but the physical
file for it has already been deleted.

The script you show doesn't seem to do that, but I wonder whether it's
not related somehow.

This class of problems is (at long last) fixed for 7.1, but in prior
releases all we can say is "don't do that" :-(

                        regards, tom lane
