These are the global shared tables, that exist only once in the cluster - not once per database. They can only be analyzed by "postgres" in this case.
(There's a whole bunch of other pg_ tables that are local to the database, and those should be analyzed just fine in this case)
Seems a bit unnecessary that we should even try and then emit a warning for them though.
