Here's a patch that makes it work as proposed.
How do people feel about back-patching this? On one hand it seems
there's a lot of fear of changing autovacuum behavior in back branches,
because for many production systems it has carefully been tuned; on the
other hand, it seems hard to believe that anyone has tuned the system to
work sanely given how insanely per-table options behave in the current
code.
