The code comment associated with that error message says:

         * Check state.  We use normal tests not Asserts because it is possible
         * to reach here in the wrong state given misconfigured RI triggers,
         * in particular deferring a cascade action trigger.

The system will not normally allow cascade actions to be deferred
... did you manually munge the pg_trigger entries?  If you managed
to provoke this purely through DDL commands, that would be a bug,
and I'd like to see how you did it.
