Ah, that should have been obvious, shouldn't it.  I'm able to reproduce
the problem by moving relfrozenxid backwards for a shared catalog, and I
can confirm that it works correctly with the patch proposed, so I have
pushed it to all branches.  (I only tested the problem scenario in 9.1
and master, since it's too much manual work).

Thanks for the report!
