This sounds like a transaction ID wraparound issue, ie, the pg_class rows
are still there but you can't see them because they're "in the future".
VACUUM FREEZE would probably fix it, but the interesting question is why
didn't the built-in wraparound defenses prevent this from happening.
Could we see the output from pg_controldata?
