Those indexes are pretty bloated :-( but pg_attribute itself seems to be
nice and tight.  I speculate that you did a VACUUM FULL on it recently.

The condition of the indexes suggests strongly that you've not been
vacuuming pg_attribute often enough (and perhaps not any of the other
system catalogs, either?).  Heavy use of temp tables will cause
pg_attribute and pg_class to bloat if you don't keep after them.

At the moment, a REINDEX seems to be indicated.
