It's a "classical" inheritance parent, not a builtin-partitioning type
of parent, right? And it contains data?
I assume it ought to not be too hard to come up with a reproducer
then...
I think the problem is pretty plainly that for inheritance tables we'll
try to store extended statistics twice. And thus end up updating the
same row twice.

/* Build extended statistics (if there are any). */
BuildRelationExtStatistics(onerel, totalrows, numrows, rows, attr_cnt,
vacattrstats);
Note that for plain statistics we a) pass down the 'inh' flag to the
storage function, b) stainherit is part of pg_statistics' key:
Indexes:
"pg_statistic_relid_att_inh_index" UNIQUE, btree (starelid, staattnum, stainherit)
Tomas, I think at the very least extended statistics shouldn't be built
when building inherited stats. But going forward I think we should
probably have it as part of the key for pg_statistic_ext.
