minimal xobject_id in source table is 1000.
index on xobject_id might be corrupted, but it doesn't explain that I
don't see duplicates with group_by/having query on xobjects, which uses
seqscan:
$ explain select xobject_id, count(*) from sssssss.xobjects group by 1 having count(*) > 1;
QUERY PLAN

Sort Key: xobject_id
