Please see this thread:

(actually it's a single message AFAICT)
This was applied on the 8.2dev code, so I'm surprised that 8.2dev
behaves the same as 8.1.
Does your problem have any relationship to what's described there?
I also wondered whether the problem may be that the number of SLRU
buffers we use for subtrans is too low. But the number was increased
from the default 8 to 32 in 8.2dev as well. Maybe you could try
increasing that even further; say 128 and see if the problem is still
there. (src/include/access/subtrans.h, NUM_SUBTRANS_BUFFERS).
