I am still working on it, but it appears that the vacuuming of pg_class
is causing the failure of the vacuum on 'getting'.  Probably the
vacuuming of pg_class it not invalidating the pg_class cache values.  I
added additional debugging statements to find out exactly when the cache
lookups start to fail.
