You are correct, at least one database must be corrupted.
In the corrupted database:
=> SELECT * from pg_proc WHERE oid = 2071;
proname | pronamespace | proowner | prolang | procost | prorows | provariadic
| proisagg | proiswindow | p
rosecdef | proisstrict | proretset | provolatile | pronargs | pronargdefaults
| prorettype | proargtypes |
proallargtypes | proargmodes | proargnames | proargdefaults | prosrc | probin
| proconfig | proacl

---------+-------------+-----------+-------------+----------+-----------------+------------+-------------+-

(0 rows)
In the 'postgres' database:
=> SELECT * from pg_proc WHERE oid = 2071;
proname | pronamespace | proowner | prolang | procost | prorows |
provariadic | proisagg | proisw
indow | prosecdef | proisstrict | proretset | provolatile | pronargs |
pronargdefaults | prorettype | proar

I have dumped the database with corrupted pg_proc and restored into a new
database and the error is now gone.
Would you like me to investigate more about the database corruption?
