My apologies, false alarm.
The problem turned out to be due to doing
CREATE TABLE catalog_fks.%1$I AS
SELECT * FROM pg_catalog.%1$I
which causes changes to e.g. pg_catalog.pg_class during the command is running.
Solved by instead using COPY ... TO to first copy catalogs to files on disk,
which doesn't cause changes to the catalogs,
and then using COPY .. FROM to copy the data into the replicated table
structures.
