1) Init a postgresql 8.3 with autovacuum disabled.
2) Load a backup of a database into that PostgreSQL.
3) Check pg_stat_user_tables. n_live_tup for all tables will be 0.
4) VACUUM ANALYZE the whole database.
5) n_live_tup will *still* be 0. Whereas reltuples in pg_class will be
reasonable accurate.

Right. I'm contending that ANALYZE *should* update those columns.
Current behavior is unintuitive and makes the stats in
pg_stat_user_tables almost useless, since you can never get even
approximately a coherent snapshot of data for all tables.
