Ah, I had tried just a reindex xxx but not a reindex pg_class.

         * reindex_index will attempt to update the pg_class rows for the 
relation
         * and index.  If we are processing pg_class itself, we want to make 
sure
         * that the updates do not try to insert index entries into indexes we
         * have not processed yet.      (When we are trying to recover from 
corrupted
         * indexes, that could easily cause a crash.) We can accomplish this
         * because CatalogUpdateIndexes will use the relcache's index list to 
know
         * which indexes to update. We just force the index list to be only the
         * stuff we've processed.

Uhm. Is it possible we're mistakenly doing a HOT update because we're lying
about what indexes exist?
