There are few of them, always the same request size(?) but different two databases (out of 100+) and few different tables (pg_listener, pg_statistic and few slony tables). Vacumm analyze is issued by pg_autovacuum.

We're also seeing strange behavior of listen/notify in possibly corrupted database: there are notify events being received by listen process which the process didn't subscribed to. Can this be connected?

I've done little research in mailing list archives and I found possible cause: table corruption caused by flaky hardware. Does it sound about right? Are there any other possible causes?

That can also be caused by setting maintenance_work_mem too high for what your hardware is capable of, though I agree that given the other problems it's likely that there is some kind of corruption.
